Who uses litigation insurance?
Corporates and their general counsel, law firms carrying fee risk, litigation funders protecting deployed capital, investors in legal assets, insolvency practitioners pursuing claims for creditors, and private equity sponsors dealing with litigation in a transaction. Each carries a different exposure, so the cover used differs.

Frequently asked
Can individuals buy commercial litigation insurance?

Do law firms buy litigation insurance for themselves?

Why would a litigation funder buy insurance?
To protect deployed capital, reduce its cost of capital and satisfy investors or lenders.
How do private equity sponsors use litigation insurance?
To ring-fence a known dispute in a transaction, reducing escrows or price adjustments and allowing a clean exit.
Can insolvency practitioners use litigation insurance?
Yes. ATE is widely used to pursue claims for creditors without putting estate assets at risk of adverse costs.
