Litigation Finance
Financing Legal Outcomes, Uncorrelated by Design Structured Exposure to High-Merit Claims with Defined Upside.
Capiteq’s Litigation Funding Strategy provides non-recourse capital to vetted legal actions. With legal diligence, ATE insurance, and controlled risk, investors gain access to asymmetric returns independent of market cycles or economic conditions.
Non-Correlated Private Credit
Financing high-merit legal claims with strong protections and asymmetric return potential.
Capiteq’s Litigation Funding Strategy provides investors with access to a high-conviction, non-correlated private credit opportunity by financing meritorious legal claims on a non-recourse basis.
Capital is deployed to fund disbursements, legal fees, and working capital for vetted cases with defined claim value and enforceable recovery paths. Investors benefit from asymmetric return profiles, robust downside protection through insurance and legal structuring, and exposure to outcomes decoupled from economic cycles.
Strategy Overview
Litigation finance offers investors the ability to back legal claims with measurable damages and clear legal precedent.
Capiteq structures facilities that fund commercial disputes, mass claims, and consumer litigation — with recoveries typically tied to court settlement or judgment enforcement.
The strategy is structured on a non-recourse basis, meaning repayment is only due upon successful resolution. We finance law firms, claim vehicles, and SPVs aligned with specialist legal teams and supported by ATE (After-the-Event) insurance.
The Appeal of Litigation Finance
Litigation funding is uniquely positioned within private markets: it combines a contractual outcome (legal resolution) with minimal correlation to economic, interest rate, or market risk factors.
Returns are typically realised in 12 to 36 months, with outcomes structured to return a multiple of invested capital on success. Capiteq’s underwriting prioritises legal strength, defendant solvency, insurance coverage, and jurisdictional enforceability – ensuring a repeatable, risk-adjusted return profile.

Where We Focus
Capiteq concentrates on high-merit, clearly structured claims with strong legal fundamentals.
These include commercial contract breaches, group litigation (mass consumer claims), professional negligence, antitrust cases, and banking or regulatory disputes.
All claims are vetted for legal precedent, jurisdiction, defendant solvency, and enforcement feasibility. We partner with experienced law firms, legal counsel, and litigation SPVs with track records in claim monetisation.
Risk Management
Each funded claim is subject to multi-layered diligence, covering legal strength, claimant credibility, and enforcement pathways.
Key risk mitigants include ATE insurance (covering both costs and capital), staged capital release based on claim progress, and security over claim proceeds through assignments or structured returns.
Capiteq retains legal advisors throughout and actively monitors case milestones, settlements, and judicial timelines. Risk-adjusted returns are structured through preferred return hurdles, success fee participation, and waterfall protections.
Investor Suitability
Litigation funding is suitable for investors seeking high-return, event-driven exposure with minimal macro sensitivity.
The strategy offers true diversification from traditional credit, equity, or real asset holdings, and is particularly compelling for portfolios seeking asymmetric payoffs and capital preservation through legal structuring. Ideal for family offices, institutions, and experienced credit allocators seeking to expand into legal finance.
