Litigation Funding + ATE

Funded claims and adverse costs protection in a single structure.

Why is ATE used alongside litigation funding?

Non-recourse funding covers the cost of running a claim, but not usually a costs order in favour of the opponent. ATE insurance is added so that adverse costs, and sometimes own-side disbursements, are protected. Funders frequently require it as a condition of deployment.

Key points

  • Funding rarely covers adverse costs by default.
  • ATE is often a condition of a funding commitment.
  • Staged premiums align cover with case milestones.
  • The policy may be assigned or noted in favour of the funder.
