We welcome enquiries from claimants, practitioners, and interested investors.

What is dispute finance?

Dispute finance (also commonly referred to as “litigation funding”) is a form of funding available to claimants seeking to mitigate the legal cost and risk associated with pursuing legal action. Funds are utilised to pay litigation expenses including lawyers’ fees, expert fees, and disbursements, and to provide cover for adverse costs exposure.

Funding is advanced a non-recourse basis, repayable only in the event of success in the action. Each funding arrangement is tailored on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best possible pathway to a successful recovery.

Our Board is comprised of reputable Western Australian businesspersons with particular experience in the areas of corporate finance and law. As a member of the Association of Litigation Funders of Australia, we operate with the requisite prudential oversight to protect the interests of both claimants and investors. Our investment mandate aligns with the advancement of access to justice, empowering claimants to seek recoveries where it otherwise would not be possible.
