Litigation Finance - My 26M Euros portfolio (BONUS: Free resources)

[James Orwell]

Hi all,

Please find below the list I've been compiling over the past few days with the help of ChatGPT.

i’m sharing the list here, in case it helps others in similar situations.

My situation:

I currently hold a portfolio of litigation claims totaling over €26 million (17M of claims ready to go, additional 9M currently under review), involving 144 counterparties in the construction sector. These are contractual penalty claims under Estonian law against Italian counterparts, with:

• Signed contracts (mostly in English)
• All the docs in order, ready for filing with the court
• Personal guarantees from directors
• Jurisdiction clauses pointing to Harju County Court (Tallinn)
• 87 formal demand letters issued, all ignored (strong point in Estonian courts)
• Minimum claim value: €50K
• Maximum claim value: €976K
• Budget €1.5 Million (entire portfolio)

I’m looking to either:

• Assign the claims entirely, or
• Partner with a funder under a waterfall recovery model
• A mix of the above

I retain counsel in both Estonia and Italy. Given the legal framework and debtor silence, I believe this is a highly enforceable and attractive portfolio.

Questions for the community:

• Has anyone worked with any of these funders directly?
• Do you have advice on how to approach them,or others not listed?
• Would anyone be open to a warm intro or just sharing how you got in the door?

As promised, here's the list, with just one word of warning: although I checked all the websites myself, some of them do not finance commercial litigations like mine (e.g. https://www.crowdjustice.com/all-cases/ ); others don't work outside of the US or the UK, or require an ATE insurance I don't currently have; others are just advisors, who claim to be able to market your case to their "vast array of capital sources".

Still, I believe the full list could be useful. Just browse the websites and see in what they specialize.

Ambulance chasing?

That's an interesting market, no doubts. But no, we're in a whole different playground.

I don't see a lot of posts about litigation funding around here, only this recent one claiming 20-25% a year.

Hence the decision of sharing the above list, for anybody interested. Plenty of funds are actually open to investors. The returns claimed by the funds are impressive.

My case aside, I guess it's a win-win.

Sorry, the post I was referencing above here:

Thread 'What investment is making you 10%+ yearly?'

Feb 28, 2024

Out of boredom and curiosity.
Anybody here is investing money and making at least 10% (or more) on the invested capital?

If yes, what did you invested in?

Please NO CRYPTO answers.
