The contribution of litigation funding to your company’s results

You would like to assert claims but are afraid of the costs and risks of litigation? With our funding solutions we assume all risks and bear the necessary costs – for the best lawyers, court costs and experts, if necessary. And since managing complex litigation can become very time-consuming, we can include your internal litigation management costs in our funding as well. Avoid provisions in your company´s balance sheet or dissolve provisions that have already been formed – with direct effect on your company´ s bottom line. Protect your budget and invest your funds in your core business instead.

If your case is concluded successfully, we receive a small share of the proceeds and you keep the larger share to yourself. The amount of our share is negotiated individually. It is based on objective criteria such as the estimated duration of the proceedings, the merits of your case and economic considerations.

In addition to funding yoiur case, we support you with our case management services. By closely monitoring the proceedings, you also benefit from our experience and legal expertise.

Preservation of liquidity

Money remains in the company and can be used for the core business or investments instead of being spent on expensive legal costs.

Improvement of bottom line earnings

Avoid provisions for legal costs in your balance sheet and P&L. Or turn your legal department into a profit center – and dissolve provisions that have already been created!

Keep your budget free of unnessary cost items. Avoid not only external litigation costs, but also the internal costs attributed to managing your case.

Process of litigation funding for companies – simple and straightforward!

We are looking forward to reviewing the funding options for your specific case. Have your legal department or external lawyer contact us.

Inquiry

You or your attorney provide us with initial documents for our funding review, including a statement of the facts and a legal opinion. Our Litigation Funding team is available for a preliminary consultation by phone: +49 228 95750-50.

Review

FORIS reviews your case, clarifies any follow-up questions and determines whether your matter can be funded. In this case we would also discuss possible funding models with you and agree on the overall strategy.

Contract

Following a positive review, we would provide you with a detailed funding offer for your review and consideration. Our offer would include the scope of the funding and our proposal for the distribution of proceeds in the event of success. If you agree, the funding agreement would be concluded.

Litigation

Your lawyer handles the litigation of your claim and FORIS pays all invoices. If necessary or helpful, FORIS is available for assistance or coordination. We are happy to contribute our experience – in your best interests.

Conclusion of your case

Once the proceedings have been concluded, any amounts recovered from the respondent are paid out to you, after retaining our agreed share in the proceeds. You will receive an itemized statement from us, which you can use in case you are able to claim tax deductions. If, contrary to our expectations, your case is lost, FORIS would cover all further resulting costs – but this is our problem and nothing you need to be concerned about.
