DISCREET, RESPONSIVE, EXPERIENCED
MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION OF LITIGATION FUNDERS
OF ENGLAND AND WALES
Redress Solutions is one of the longest established and experienced litigation
funders in the United Kingdom. We specialise in the funding of commercial and
other high value claims.
Redress Solutions.
Our approach to client service is unique: swift and efficient
claim selection procedures without bureaucracy. We operate with
complete discretion.
WHO WE WORK WITH
THE CASES WE FUND
We fund substantial cases for companies,
partnerships and individuals.
Our favoured cases are in document-based
commercial litigation or arbitrations in Europe, the
United States and other jurisdictions with reliable
legal systems where the trial and any enforcement
is to take place. Redress Solutions will consider
funding for all types of commercial and other high
value claims. In terms of the value of matters that
we fund there is no upper limit. As to a minimum,
we would normally focus on funding cases with a
value higher than £0.5 million. We do not fund family,
divorce or personal injury-related claims.
We work directly with corporate finance and legal
departments, claimants themselves and their
officers and partners. We welcome cases introduced
by lawyers, accountants and other professionals.
We regularly work with insolvency practitioners who
wish to pursue claims without exposure to the risks
and expense of the case.
COMPANIES AND PARTNERSHIPS
Support from Redress Solutions sends a strong
signal to the defendant that you are committed to
litigating and have the financial ability to see your
claim through to conclusion. Taking funding from
Redress Solutions frees up your finances that could
otherwise be trapped in litigation. We take the
contingent liability of the adverse costs in losing a
case off your balance sheet. A defendant will always
know that if Redress Solutions funds a case it will
have very strong merits and so may decide to settle
quickly.
LAW AND ACCOUNTANCY FIRMS
The support of Redress Solutions allows you to
concentrate on your work and not worry about
getting paid. Redress Solutions always pays your
bills promptly.
INSOLVENCY PRACTITIONERS
If you have selected a legal team to run your claim,
Redress Solutions will always allow you to continue
with them. If you so require, Redress Solutions will
take an assignment of your claim. This will transfer
all of the financial exposure and costs of the case
to us and we will instruct the lawyers that you
recommend.
WORKING WITH REDRESS SOLUTIONS
We pride ourselves on our client service, which is
fast, no-nonsense and without the bureaucracy
you may find with other funders. We operate with
complete discretion. Where we fund the litigation
or arbitration of a claim, we receive an agreed
percentage of the settlement or award, after all
costs not recovered from the opponent have been
reimbursed. We do not make management or
expense charges of any kind to the clients on whose
behalf we work. When a case is brought to us we
make our own assessment of its merits, with or
without the advice of external lawyers or other
professionals. This is a process we pay for entirely
and even if your case is not taken forward you
will not be charged. We indemnify you against the
opponent’s costs on any matter we fund. You have no
costs as a claimant and we take all the risks.
