Before You Write
An enquiry is not a formal submission.
An initial enquiry is not a formal submission and does not mean that a matter has been accepted for review. Hudson may first request limited preliminary information before determining whether to invite a matter into its formal intake process.
Please do not send substantive documents or evidentiary materials with an initial enquiry. If a matter progresses, Hudson will provide instructions for the appropriate confidentiality process and secure exchange of materials.
Counsel need not already be retained to make an initial enquiry. The status of legal representation is relevant to Hudson’s review and may be clarified before a matter progresses further.
First Contact
What is useful at first contact.
A first enquiry is most useful if it identifies the claimant and principal parties, the nature of the dispute, relevant jurisdiction or forum, counsel status, procedural status, approximate amount in dispute, and the maximum aggregate capital presently contemplated from Hudson across the life of the matter rather than only an immediate or first-phase amount.
No substantive documents are required at this stage.
Routes of Contact
Four clear paths.
Each route reaches a named desk. There is no general switchboard and no automated reply.
02
Counsel Inquiries
For retained law firms submitting on behalf of a client, and for questions on the six-item submission protocol.
03
Formal Submission
A matter is formally submitted in writing through the submission form. Counsel need not already be retained to make an initial enquiry, and no confidentiality agreement is required to write in. Written confidentiality arrangements and access to the secure, invited portal follow where a matter progresses.

Confidentiality
Hudson handles preliminary correspondence with appropriate confidentiality. Substantive documents and evidentiary materials should not be sent through the general enquiry channel unless requested. Where a matter progresses, appropriate written confidentiality arrangements are addressed before substantive materials are exchanged. Hudson does not represent that correspondence with the firm creates privilege, work-product protection or common-interest protection.
