Key Advantages
- High Returns: Litigation financing can yield significant returns, often exceeding those of traditional investments. Investors typically receive a multiple of their investment upon successful resolution of a case.
- Non-Correlation: Returns from litigation financing are generally independent of market movements, providing a hedge against economic downturns.
- Social Impact: By funding meritorious cases, investors can contribute to access to justice and support for underfunded litigants.
- Risk Mitigation: Non-recourse funding means investors only recover their investment if the case is successful, mitigating the risk of total loss.
