Litigation Funding and Insurance

Capital and protection arranged together around one matter or one book.

How are litigation funding and insurance combined?

Funding supplies the capital required to run a claim; insurance defines the downside for whoever is carrying the risk. Combined structures typically pair a funding commitment with adverse costs cover and, where capital is at stake, capital protection. Each element is underwritten separately.

Key points

  • Funding answers the cash question, insurance answers the downside question.
  • Combined structures are common on substantial commercial claims.
  • Cover can sit with the claimant, the funder or both.
  • Each instrument is documented separately and priced separately.
