Expert Investors
Investing in Litigation
The Legis team has been investing in litigation for over 13 years – longer than most. We have dedicated capital and experience in most sectors of the market – in the UK, Europe, US and offshore. We also understand that not all litigation risk is the same; and pricing needs to reflect this.
Relationships
Good investing and litigation funding is about building long-term relationships with law firms, companies and investors. We value trust and the ability to work alongside our partners in situations which require efficient and effective decision-making.
Portfolio Management
Litigation is an esoteric risk; and each investment typically involves discrete risks. The Legis team has broad litigation as well as financial experience and understands the complexities of managing a portfolio of litigation – particularly the need to balance short term turnover with medium-term risk — and avoid the tail risk that typifies many of the funds today.
