Litigation
At The Associate Law Firm, our Dispute Resolution and Litigation Team works in partnership with our clients to minimise the stress and disruption that so often comes with disputes. Over the years we have worked with many clients to implement a range of strategies (including escalating disputes where appropriate or trying to prevent them), mitigate risk and exposure, and reputations and reduce uncertainty.
Our reputation and growth in this area have been built on our proven ability to resolve large-scale, complex commercial litigation disputes, whether via mediation, court proceedings or otherwise. The diversity of our team’s expertise enables us to help clients across a wide range of industries.
No matter how complex the case, our clients can trust in our expertise. Our innovative and strategic solutions are tailored to our individual client’s goals and objectives, as we look for the most cost-effective approach for each matter.
Litigation Funding
Businesses no longer need to invest and risk their own capital to fund a legal claim.
We try to make what can otherwise be a minefield, simple and transparent. If you have a claim that is:
- winnable; and
- there is a commercial financial benefit to you in pursuing the claim;
We can advise you on whether your claim is suitable for litigation funding.
We can share the risk with you!
We are confident in our judgement and strategy meaning that in appropriate cases we are also willing to share risk, and in some cases offer a no-risk arrangement in respect of our fees.
Our team has considerable litigation experience and has worked with various funding arrangements for more than 20 years. This combined technical expertise and our flexible approach enable us to help you find the best funding solution.
When might you wish to use litigation funding or insurance?
Some litigants apply for litigation funding to pay their legal costs because, without it, they would not be able to afford to pursue action at all. But this is not the only situation in which litigants seek to use litigation funding. Some litigants, despite their ability to fund the litigation, would rather take the option of the support provided by a litigation funder. This may be because:
- they prefer to share or transfer the risk of pursuing the claim (even though they will have to pay some of the damages to the funder if they are successful);
- it is commercially convenient to take the cost of funding litigation off the company balance sheet completely.
Finding the right funding solution - conducting a cost-benefit analysis!
When considering the funding options available, we will conduct a cost-benefit analysis for you to work out what the likely costs and liabilities will be so that you can decide if the overall financial benefit is still one which is worth pursuing, once the expenses of litigating are paid for.
Funding options!
The types of funding that may be available and suitable for you will be dependent upon several factors:
- the merits of your claim;
- the remedy you are seeking;
- the value of your claim and whether you are bringing or defending a claim; and
- your view on investing capital into the litigation.
If the prospects of a claim are strong enough, we will work with you to seek to find a suitable funding arrangement to assist you in managing the costs of litigation.
