Contact: Ellen White Company: Bench Walk Advisors Web Address: https://benchwalk.com/ Legal Capital Solutions as Innovative as they are Straightforward Boasting offices in London, New York, and Delaware, Bench Walk Advisors utilises these strategically placed hubs to conduct investments across not only the UK, but also the United States, Canada, Australia, and throughout Western Europe. To date, this team have funded more than 250 cases and committed more than $1 billion to them, with this financing able to be provided at any stage of the litigation or arbitration process. The innovative financing solutions on offer from the firm consist primarily of four key areas, namely, single case funding, law firm portfolios, classic action funding, and defence funding. Single case funding is at simple as it sounds, with financial aid provided for a single case, whether this to be fund litigation costs or release capital for plaintiffs and claimants. This type of funding could involve the legal costs of litigation or arbitration, the buying of a single award to unlock a claimant’s cash flow, or the purchasing of insolvency claims. Defence funding, on the other hand, is financing that makes good economic sense for a defendant, and as one of few global funders to offer such a well-structured service, Bench Walk Advisors has made this available on both a single case and a portfolio basis, if claims are included. Regarding such portfolios, corporate portfolio financing from Bench Walk Advisors helps to both relieve the financial risk and reduce time and cost, enabling a law firm to pick the cases that it believes have the strongest chances of success for a swift settlement and the right result. To aid with this, a Bench Walk off-balance sheet and non-recourse portfolio facility is made available, provided directly to a corporate client so as to cover, or heavily reduce, the costs associated with pursuing disputes or monetising claims. In turn, cash flow is freed, and disputes become assets, with an increased capacity to yield laudable claims garnered. Finally, law firm financing is the business’ way of supporting law firms in the wake of clients expecting increasingly flexible fees, where the firm itself takes the brunt of much of the financial risk associated with a dispute. Using its single-case and portfolio facilities, law firms are afforded the unique opportunity to broaden their horizons and thus compete for more cases. Thanks to Bench Walk Advisors’ providing of capital, not only can firms further solidify their relationships with clients, but it can help them pursue more prosperous results, all the while ensuring a smooth cash flow and freeing up capital to help with expansion.
