Making infrastructure company whole through monetization

Challenge: Government refuses to pay settlement to energy infrastructure developer 

A company won a contract to build one of the largest dams on the continent. Despite being confirmed as the local partner more than a decade later, the national government instead attempted to proceed with the development of the project with a group of international entities. After initiating an arbitration, the parties reached a settlement agreement. However, following an extended period of non-payment, the company needed capital. 

Solution: Monetization allows company’s law firm to pursue high-value claims while awaiting settlement payout

The business’s law firm received $20 million in monetization to pursue additional claims. 

Impact: Company receives capital infusion to pursue valuable claims

With the infusion of capital provided by Burford, the company was able to pursue additional claims before payment from the government had been received.
