Institutional
counterparties.

Companies and commercial claimants carrying, or unwilling to carry, the cost of a substantial dispute on their own balance sheet.

Capital is non-recourse to the extent agreed: repayment and return come from defined proceeds of the matter, and HLC does not look to the claimant if the claim produces no recovery, save in respect of fraud and defined default remedies.

Counsel of record seeking an institutional funder for a client, on defined and documented terms.

HLC does not select, instruct or supervise counsel, and it does not interfere with professional judgment. Counsel should avoid submitting unnecessary privileged material through the public form; a secure document channel is provided if a matter proceeds beyond initial review.

Firms financing case investment, working capital or growth against the economics of a portfolio rather than the outcome of a single matter.

The firm's professional independence and its duties to its clients are unaffected by a facility.

Authorised officeholders, administrators, liquidators, trustees, receivers, creditor committees and substantial creditors pursuing estate recoveries.

Authority, court approval where required, priority against estate expenses and clawback exposure are considered at the outset rather than at documentation.

Holders of a legal asset who need liquidity before collection, partial monetisation, or a clean exit.

Where an advance is preferred, a residual interest is retained on agreed terms. Where certainty is preferred, the asset or a defined interest in it may be purchased, subject to transferability.

Acquirers, funds and acquisition vehicles requiring capital to purchase a commercial claim or a legally transferable economic interest in one.

HLC gives no view on whether a particular asset is legally assignable until its General Counsel has completed the applicable review, and nothing on this website is an offer to purchase or to finance the purchase of any claim.
