Litigation Finance
Legalist’s flagship litigation finance strategy invests in commercial litigation claims.
Since 2017, Legalist’s litigation funds have focused on using technology to invest in meritorious litigation claims to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. These investments are uncorrelated from broader market movements.
Litigation finance is a non-recourse investment where recovery is contingent on the success of the underlying litigation. Our funds focus on moderate duration commercial claims sourced using our proprietary investment technology.
