Reallocating cash from pending claim to revenue-generating investment

Challenge: Retail business sought cash to invest in revenue-generating activities

A regional retail business knew from experience that dollars invested in rebranding stores would yield significant returns, and sought a solution from Burford that could provide them with liquidity to do so. 

Solution: Capital from claim monetization allowed for further investment in business

The client had a pending opt-out claim in an ongoing antitrust matter. Rather than leaving money captive in this pending claim, Burford advanced $10 million in value from the client’s future expected entitlement for immediate use by the business, transforming it from liability to asset. Without ceding control or future upside from its pending matter, the client was able to utilize this claim monetization funding to rebrand stores to increase foot traffic and revenue. 

Impact: More capital for revenue-generating investments that yielded business returns

Clients know how to make money by investing cash in their business, not litigation. Burford’s legal finance unlocked capital that otherwise would have been held captive in a claim to address business opportunities and generate returns.
