Legal proceedings are inherently costly, involving the payment of lawyers’ fees, counsel fees, expert fees, and disbursements. This can create cashflow and budgetary difficulties for claimants, and may affect the decision to pursue legal action or not. Dispute finance steps in to pay these expenses, in return for a portion of the recovery upon success.

Unlike loans, Hartwell funding arrangements are non-recourse. We do not receive a return on our investment unless the claim is successful, whether by settlement or judgment. In this way, claimants can fully offset the risk of pursuing legal action.

Claimants are often wary of pursuing legal action due to the risk of adverse costs orders in the event they do not succeed at trial. Additionally, certain claimants may be unable to commence or continue an action without putting up funds as security for the defendant’s costs. Hartwell funding arrangements can be deployed to meet these liabilities.

Hartwell’s management team is experienced in dispute resolution. Working with your legal representatives, our careful assessment of your claim helps to determine the optimal pathway to recovery and enforcement.
