Halcyon Litigation Funding was created by UK lawyers, for UK lawyers. Our mission is simple: to provide fair, transparent, and sustainable litigation funding that helps law firms specialising in “no-win, no-fee” cases grow with confidence.
Despite being a vital route to justice for many clients, contingency fee work creates significant financial pressures for firms – high upfront costs, lengthy case timelines, and uncertainty around outcomes.
Traditional banks are rarely willing to lend, as this type of work doesn’t fit conventional criteria. At the other extreme, many overseas funders import aggressive US-style models that demand excessive returns and expose firms to disproportionate risk.
We set up Halcyon to offer a better way: fair, sustainable funding designed for the realities of the UK legal market.
Our Approach
We provide non-recourse funding designed to cover both case running costs and law firm acquisitions. Our model is built on shared risk: we only succeed when your cases succeed. Unlike many funders, we operate between bank lending and high-cost litigation finance, ensuring:
Fairer terms for law firms
Attractive returns for investors
Sustainable profits for our partners
We expect firms to have robust after-the-event insurance in place to protect against adverse costs, but beyond that, our focus is on providing the capital and flexibility you need to grow.
Our funding model is designed to give law firms both flexibility and security. Specifically, we provide:
Non-Recourse Structure
Funding is provided on a shared-risk, non-recourse basis. If cases are lost, repayment isn’t required – protecting your firm from unsustainable debt.
Aligned Profit Distribution
Settlement proceeds are placed into escrow. Our agreed share is deducted first, with the balance returned to your firm monthly – ensuring clear, fair profit sharing.
Predictable Cash Flow
Monthly drawdowns provide steady cash flow, helping you manage day-to-day operations while waiting for settlements.
Transparency Through Data
We connect directly with your case management system via secure API, allowing real-time oversight and data-driven monitoring for complete transparency.
Growth Capital for Expansion
We fund case costs and client acquisition, giving your firm the capital to grow its caseload, expand operations, and serve more clients with confidence.
