Litigation Funding

About

Provided by Harbour

Harbour is the largest privately-owned litigation funder, having raised over $1.78 bn of third-party capital since inception. Established in 2007, Harbour has funded 126 claims, with arbitrations under 6 arbitral forums and litigation in 13 jurisdictions. With 17 dedicated investment professionals, each with a designated jurisdictional focus and dispute type specialism.

At its most basic level, what Harbour does is very simple. Harbour pays legal bills and protect parties against adverse costs if their claim turns out to be unsuccessful. In exchange, a claimant agrees that we take a pre-agreed portion of the damages if their claim is successful.

At a more granular level, what we offer is a range of funding products.

These include:

• Single case funding – a single claim supported by Harbour’s capital
• Portfolio funding – two or more claims supported by Harbour’s capital
• Funding facility – a recourse loan to help a law firm manage contingent revenues
• Monetisation – a single claim acquired by Harbour
• Insuring litigation costs – insuring against the costs and risks of litigation, provided by our sister company Harbour Underwriting.

Each of these claims can relate to a variety of different types of dispute including:

• Arbitration
• Competition
• Construction disputes
• Enforcement
• General commercial disputes
• Group actions
• Intellectual property
• Insolvency

All of which we can support anywhere in the world where litigation funding is permitted.
