Legal Funding in India – A Strategic Advantage
Financial strain often deters parties with strong claims. It provides a solution, allowing you to pursue justice without risking personal or business capital.
- What is Legal Funding?
Legal Funding, or Litigation Financing, is when a third-party finance company covers all legal costs, including lawyer fees, court fees, and expert witnesses.
- Non-Recourse Structure: You repay the funder only if the case succeeds. They take a pre-agreed percentage of the settlement or award. If the case is lost, you owe nothing.
- Focus on Strategy: This arrangement relieves financial pressure, letting you concentrate on legal strategy and strengthening negotiation leverage.
- Eligible Cases and Benefits
Legal funding applies to:
- Commercial Disputes: Contract breaches, debt recovery, IP disputes.
- Real Estate Disputes: Property ownership, construction defects, landlord-tenant issues.
- Personal Claims: Medical malpractice, product liability.
- Employment Law: Unfair dismissal or discrimination cases.
Key Benefits:
- Access to Justice: SMEs and individuals can challenge larger opponents without risking capital.
- Risk Mitigation: The funder absorbs the financial risk of failure.
- Strategic Advantage: Access top-tier legal representation and pursue cases aggressively.
- Independent Validation: Funder due diligence confirms the merit of your claim.
Legal Framework
India recognises Legal Funding based on judicial precedent and contract law:
- Judicial Permissibility: The Supreme Court (Bar Council of India v AK Balaji, 2018) confirmed third-party funding is valid in India.
- Contractual Integrity: Funding agreements fall under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Courts ensure agreements are fair and not against public policy.
- Recent Case Law: Delhi High Court in Tomorrow Sales Agency v SBS Holdings affirmed funders’ role in enabling justice.
- Lawyer Restrictions: Advocates cannot directly fund clients; funding must come from independent finance companies.
- 2025 Regulatory Updates
