Essentially, a third party litigation funder is a company that provides non-recourse legal finance on behalf of a claimant (plaintiff).

In exchange for agreeing to provide finance for the claimant’s legal fees, the litigation funder is rewarded by way of a financing fee. However, if the case is lost, the financing fee is not payable and the client is not liable for the investment provided by the funder.

Caprica is a provider of litigation funding.  We arrange financing for lawyers’ fees and disbursements, including Counsel’s fees and expert’s fees as required.

When it comes to pricing, some litigation funding companies seek to express their financing fee as a percentage of the claimant’s overall damages recovery.

After the Event (‘ATE’) insurance is a specialist form of insurance designed to assist individuals and companies pursuing a legal claim by protecting any potential exposure to legal costs.

ATE insurance policies are designed to provide a claimant with an indemnity for legal fees in the event that a case is lost.  Similarly to a litigation funder, an ATE insurer is typically only paid an insurance premium if the case is successful. If the case loses, the ATE insurer does not receive a premium and pays the insured legal fees.

Insurance of this nature, taken out in proceedings being brought in England and Wales, benefits from the “cost shifting” rules that apply. In England and Wales, the “losing party” will typically be liable for the costs of their opponent in the litigation (“adverse costs”). ATE insurance is often taken out to protect against this adverse cost exposure.
