We are regularly engaged by claimants who are the victims of competition infringements and anti-competitive behaviours by businesses around the world.
We arrange litigation finance for the full range of situation:
- Finance for law firms in the book-building process for representative or class actions.
- Finance for large corporate claimants running separate claims
- Funding for stand-alone or umbrella claims in national court litigation or funding for ‘follow-on’ actions flowing from regulatory decisions in specialist forums, such as the Competition Appeal Tribunal in the UK.
We have access to specialist insurance underwriters and funders with expertise in cartel claims and abuse of market dominance claims.
We are also familiar with the myriad of cost sharing agreements and client constitution arrangements that bind group litigation, which may be especially complex where claimants have different preliminary challenges to their specific claims.
“TheJudge were able to secure a novel insurance hedge for our client’s exposure… the team worked hard to ensure the package met the demands and needs of the client by providing a necessary cost protection, with no upfront costs and crucially without the need for the client to give up a significant percentage style contingency fee.”
