Section 3: The Game-Changer Legal Case Finance in India
The financial burden of litigation can deter legitimate claims. Legal Case Finance provides a strategic solution, allowing businesses or individuals to pursue justice without risking working capital.
- What is Legal Case Finance?
Legal Case Finance (or Litigation Finance) is a funding mechanism where an independent third-party funder covers legal costs upfront. This includes lawyer fees, court expenses, and expert witness costs.
- Non-Recourse Repayment: You repay only if the case succeeds, giving the funder a pre-agreed percentage of the award or settlement. If the case fails, you owe nothing.
- Why It Works: It relieves financial pressure, allows your team to focus on core operations, and strengthens negotiation leverage.
- Models of Legal Case Finance
- Third-Party Funding (TPF): Independent funders cover legal costs in exchange for a percentage of recovered damages. Common in commercial and property disputes.
- Contingency Fee Agreements: Lawyers receive fees only on success. Restricted under Bar Council rules in India.
- Claim Assignment: The claimant transfers rights to the funder for immediate financial support. Used in high-value claims.
- Strategic Benefits
- Enhanced Access to Justice: Compete effectively against well-funded opponents.
- Reduced Risk: Funder absorbs financial risk, protecting your capital.
- Better Outcomes: Access top lawyers and experts, improving case success rates.
- Legal Innovation: Enables creative strategies in Arbitration and Insolvency Litigation.

- Case Endorsements: E.S.R.C. v LIC of India (2020) and Delhi High Court’s Tomorrow Sales Agency v SBS Holdings praised Legal Case Finance for enabling fair dispute resolution.
