The litigation funding market is experiencing an opportunity for growth. A raft of new claims is emerging while many claimants are struggling with cashflow in their businesses. Claimants are, more and more, looking to take the funding of litigation off balance sheet and bring in third party funders to assist their cashflow.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has fuelled this market direction as claimants are under more financial pressure than ever before. However, on the bright side, litigation funding is robustly developing through the uncertain environment by providing claimants with new financing solutions. As a result, there is a raft of funders providing access to the English court system through competitively priced litigation funding. This means that litigation funding is now a more practical solution and risk adverse option for any business, if it is prepared to sacrifice some of its recovery to the funder in exchange for having the cashflow to litigate.
