Litigation finance
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.
