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.
