LITIGATE WITH PURPOSE
PURSUE MERITORIOUS CLAIMS WITHOUT HESITATION
Our Litigation Funding division provides specialist funding solutions for high-value commercial litigation. A litigation’s merits can be fatally compromised due to insufficient or hesitant funds. We arm your legal representatives to advance your claim with confidence to its conclusion.
ADVANTAGES OF TAURUS CAPITAL LITIGATION FUNDING
NON-RECOURSE FUNDING
Our funding is on risk and contingent on success of the matter. If the matter is not successful, there is no obligation for the claimant to repay Taurus Capital’s funding.
ALIGNMENT OF INTERESTS
Litigation funding aligns interests between a claimant who wants results in a matter and a legal team which is remunerated regardless of its outcome.
PROVISION FOR LEGAL FEES
Legal fees are expensive, difficult to budget, and drain business cash-flow. Litigation funding removes this uncertainly and cost so that your business is not further compromised by the litigious claim.
EQUALITY OF ARMS
Litigation favours the party with more funds. Funding creates equality of arms to combat opponents who aim to outspend you as part of their litigation strategy.
COMMITTED CAPITAL
While litigation can be unpredictable, our funding is not. Taurus Capital is supported by a significant shareholder balance sheet as well as a consortium of investment partners.
COMMITTEES
Taurus Capital’s funding is guided by its legal risk and investment committees comprising experienced legal counsel and private equity professionals.
