Harbour Litigation Funding

Harbour Litigation Funding is the largest privately-owned, dedicated litigation and arbitration funder in the world. Since its foundation in 2007, Harbour has become a trusted advisor and provider of capital to law firms, corporates, and claimants, supporting them in progressing high-value commercial disputes globally. The company has funded over 175 cases, with a total combined claim value of USD$19 billion, in both common and civil law jurisdictions, and in several arbitral forums. Harbour raises and invests its own capital, allowing it to provide funding arrangements tailored to suit specific needs. Its interests are aligned with the claimant’s, and its processes are straightforward and transparent. Harbour's funding is flexible and responsive to the myriad of challenges presented by litigation and arbitration. Beyond funding, Harbour offers a team of experienced former private practice litigators and finance professionals, whose blend of skills, expertise, and networks are all made available to help clients maximize the value of their claims and bring them to a successful conclusion. The company's investment committee includes highly experienced King’s Counsel whose insights and scrutiny help validate a claim and build confidence among stakeholders. Harbour's funds are never leveraged, and the entire budget for each case it supports is ringfenced, ensuring funds are always available to meet the commitment made to clients and are not dependent on other cases succeeding. The company is recognized by industry directories as a market leader and prides itself on being a transparent partner for projects. Many of its investors have supported Harbour across several of its funds, and its best business comes from repeat funding for some of the world’s leading law firms and their clients. Harbour is a founding member of the Association of Litigation Funders of England and Wales and was involved in drafting its Code of Conduct. The current Chair of the Association is a member of the Harbour team. It is also a founding member of the International Legal Finance Association (ILFA), which launched in September 2020. ILFA represents the global commercial legal finance community and aims to promote the highest standards of operation and service in the sector. ILFA’s mission is to engage, educate, and influence legislative, regulatory, and judicial landscapes as the global voice of the commercial legal finance industry. Harbour's expertise and resources are here to help clients obtain redress in complex and challenging disputes.
