Ever-rising legal costs and the inherent uncertainty of commercial litigation and arbitration create problems for companies that Burford helps solve.
What we do
Burford provides legal capital that companies can use to offload the cost and risk of pursuing meritorious litigation, whether on a single-case basis or as part of a larger recovery effort. We can also monetize pending awards, giving companies the ability to control the timing of cash flows relating their commercial litigation and arbitration assets.
We work with companies from startups to the Fortune 500. Our solutions are flexible, can be used at any stage of the legal process to finance matters on a single-case or multi-case portfolio basis, and work for both plaintiff and defense matters.

- Offload legal fees and expenses and the risk of loss
- Monetize and accelerate awards
- Enforce outstanding judgments or awards
- Work with counsel of choice
- Create certainty around litigation budgets, timing and risk management
