Litigation funders typically finance legal cases in return for a defined share of the proceeds.
A standard process is that the litigant obtains funding to cover its legal costs from a private funder on a no win-no-repayment basis. As a result only cases with a good prospect of success tend to get funding.
Woodville have identified a significant gap in the market to assist solicitors’ practices that cannot fund either the cases available to them or their disbursements.
- Woodville primarily operate in cases of Personal Contract Purchase (‘PCP’) and mis-selling claims.
- A loan period of up to 12 months.
- A fixed simple, not compounding, monthly interest.
- The loan would be secured on an ATE (‘After the Event’) insurance policy.
- In the event that a claim is lost or discontinued, the loan is repaid to Woodville from the insurance policy proceeds.
- Upon case settlement, the loan is fully repaid prior to client receipt and sent directly to Woodville from the solicitor.
