To all those who have taken the time to comment on the above article, thank you.

Our decision to make early stage claim finance available was primarily driven by the large number of lawyers we work with who make the comment that there is a limited amount of WIP they can carry when it comes to reading into a potential client’s matter. Many said they saw good, though early matters, walk out the door as they couldn’t afford to undertake the work on a speculative basis and the claimant could not pay their fees.

In order to assist lawyers and claimants alike, we have made finance for the preliminary investigation available which is non-recourse and which satisfies our commercial expectations as a business.

The calculator on our website provides an indicative worked example of how our full finance works. In the example mentioned by Hilton, a claimant who cannot finance their case can use our early stage financing to get the case off the ground, and then if it is approved for the full finance take their matter all the way to trial at no cost to them and with ATE coverage in place.

There is further information available in relation to the cases we have financed under Claim Types and on the infographic we produced recently. Please take the time to look at the following links:
