Litigation Funding
Our attorneys are often approached by potential clients who appear to have meritorious claims but do not have the financial wherewithal to fund the litigation process particularly against adversaries with larger resources. Sometimes, potential clients have been prosecuting their claims but have expended considerable resources in doing so to the point where their ability to continue to fight is in jeopardy. In those instances, Sequor Law has taken matters on an alternative fee basis such as a full contingency fee or hybrid fee arrangement (often a reduced fee plus a contingency fee component). However, there are instances where these arrangements are not possible, such as where the prosecution of the claim is expected to cost large resources, where the claim must be prosecuted in multiple jurisdictions and/or where the claim must be prosecuted in jurisdictions which forbid contingency fee arrangements. In those situations, Sequor Law often assists clients in navigating the process to obtain third party litigation funding from the world’s premiere third party litigation funders. Sequor Law has extensive contacts with these funders, so we know which funders might make sense for the case in terms of type of claim, geographic regions, price points, value added expertise, and risk profile. In fact, Sequor Law has represented many funders in connection with their assessment of potential funding opportunities.
