Litigation funding

Pursue financially viable court cases – FORIS litigation funding

Since we launched litigation funding in Germany in 1998, it has been in high demand. This is due to its simple and compelling principle that anyone who does not want to or cannot take on the risk of litigation can outsource it to us. If you lose your case, we pay all the costs. If you win, we receive an agreed amount of the awarded value. Given our extensive activities in the field, we have a great deal of experience in assessing cases submitted to us.

    Monetisation

    FORIS monetisation – turn your litigation worries into cash

    As the inventors of commercial litigation funding, we are the first to offer monetisation of contested claims in Germany. This means: our clients allow us to pursue their legal dispute, relived from the worry about the litigation costs and can avoid the effort and the rigour of going to court. At the same time our clients increase their liquidity and can focus on their business again. 

      Shelf companies

      FORIS shelf companies – fast, secure and a wide-ranging offer

      Our shelf companies have been legally established but have yet to conduct any commercial activities. Thus, our clients are now able to do business with a company in the legal form they need. We stand out by offering most the German locations and are geographically closer to our clients. Our portfolio is equally diverse and include the "German classics" (GmbH, AG, UG) as well as the European jointstock corporation (Societas Europaea – SE).

        GO AHEAD

        GO AHEAD – the founder specialists

        We assist founders in choosing the right legal form and help them to set up their business safely, quickly and with as little bureaucracy as possible. An English or Irish Limited can be set up online with our company in 24 hours.

        GO AHEAD Founders´ Academy

        In 2018 we expanded our services and launched the GO AHEAD Founders' Academy. Why? We have learned from conversations with founders that many face similar challenges and often fail in the first few years due to the same mistakes. With the Founders Academy we want to help founders avoid these mistakes.
