Help clients monetise litigation assets without taking on risk

Dispute finance is already known for providing access-to-justice and a 'level playing field'. It is now also popular with companies and individuals wishing to pursue legal claims and recover awards and judgments without diverting or risking their own funds.

Omni Bridgeway's non-recourse dispute finance helps clients outsource the cost and risk

of their commercial disputes, preserve their capital for other projects, remove legal expenses from their P&L and leverage their legal claims, awards and judgments as assets.

Dispute finance enables clients to retain preferred advisers, adds resources to strengthen their position and is a particularly valuable tool for unlocking the economic value of disputes and judgments and awards during challenging economic times.
