Litigation Funding Assist

Litigation Funding Assist offers Acuity clients competitive funding rates, with a time-efficient process in place to ensure effective decision making. Our funding arrangement in partnership with Augusta will fund the full cost of pursuing a claim, including legal fees and expert witness costs and other agreed disbursements.

Backed by Acuity’s track record and legal 500 recognised expertise, Acuity’s Litigation Funding Assist solution allows businesses to remove the risk and cost of legal spend from the balance sheet and free up cash flow.

The markets today are highly volatile. It goes without saying that the coronavirus pandemic has destabilised the normal course of business in a way none of us have ever experienced. For many companies, cash flow issues are naturally at the forefront of management agendas. With businesses under pressure, bills aren’t being paid, contractual obligations are being ignored, and credit lines look increasingly uncertain.

Third-party litigation funding offers a solution to this challenge.

In partnership with Augusta, the largest litigation and dispute funding institution in the UK, Acuity Litigation Funding Assist enables businesses to move forward with litigation that might otherwise be prevented or on hold for cash flow reasons.
