Litigation Finance is a rapidly growing form of specialty finance used by companies and law firms involved in commercial litigation. At its core, litigation finance is the practice of providing non-recourse capital to plaintiffs’ and plaintiffs’ attorneys to fund and monetize pending litigation.

Fifteen million civil cases are filed in the United States every year, and nearly 90 percent of U.S. corporations are engaged in litigation. The US legal market is estimated to have a market cap of over $200 billion, and litigation finance has just begun to pierce the surface. Since the litigation finance industry launched in the United States just a decade ago, the industry has grown to be more than $3 billion in assets under management.

Leading law firms, especially plaintiffs' contingency firms, use litigation finance to mitigate risk, bridge cashflow gaps, and monetize uncertain outcomes. Daylesford Capital is the first litigation finance firm to exclusively focus on helping plaintiffs' attorneys monetize their mass torts contingency portfolios, cultivating an expertise in this niche financial arena.
