Contingency Capital is a global asset management business focused on credit oriented legal assets.
We create bespoke deal structures to optimize both investment returns and borrower needs.
We work as a team with our counterparties to achieve the best possible outcomes.
We work quickly yet diligently, flexible to changes in the market and the world at large.
Our funds employ a credit-oriented approach to investing in legal assets.
We combine credit structuring and legal underwriting to create pools of legal assets and lend against them in a manner consistent with how a traditional asset-based lender would lend against receivables or inventory.

Legal Assets investing is at an inflection point due to broadening acceptance of litigation finance by counterparties and the increased presence of institutional capital in the asset class.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the United Kingdom and Australia began to loosen laws around third-party financing of litigation.
In order to replicate contingency fee type arrangements in the United States, these jurisdictions permitted third-party financing of litigation fees.
