What We Fund

Rook Radcliffe Partners finances claims with genuine legal merit and demonstrable recovery potential. We work across five funding lines, each underwritten by an in-house legal team with direct experience of the proceedings and jurisdictions involved.

We fund proceedings before courts in Europe, as well as arbitration, enforcement and alternative dispute resolution proceedings in broader international jurisdictions.

Securities & Competition Claims

Investor and business losses often escalate quickly following cartel infringements or regulatory and securities misconduct. While these high-stakes claims require extensive documentation and prolonged timelines, they remain highly fundable when legal merits and financial damages are well-established.

Rook Radcliffe Partners finances both individual and collective actions in this space. We partner closely with claimants and their legal counsel from the initial assessment straight through to final enforcement.

What Falls Within Scope

  • Antitrust and cartel damages claims
  • Securities fraud and market manipulation
  • Regulatory breach claims by investors and counterparties
  • Follow-on damages actions arising from competition authority decisions
  • Investment and financial markets claims

Proceedings We Fund

Rook Radcliffe Partners can provide capital for proceedings before ordinary courts, arbitral tribunals, and in settlement or mediation contexts. We also fund enforcement proceedings where a judgment or award has been obtained, but recovery has not yet been realised.

Commercial Litigation Funding

The cost of pursuing a legitimate claim through to judgment can be high, and for many organisations, that cost sits uncomfortably against the uncertainty of the outcome. Rook Radcliffe Partners removes that tension by committing capital on a non-recourse basis, so the claimant can pursue the matter without absorbing litigation spend internally.

We fund a wide range of commercial disputes, with a particular focus on claims where the legal merits are strong and the defendant has realisable assets.

What Falls Within Scope

  • Breach of contract claims
  • Shareholder disputes and minority shareholder actions
  • M&A and joint venture disputes
  • Intellectual property claims, including patent infringement
  • Tort claims arising from commercial wrongdoing
  • Tax claims
  • Insurance disputes

Who We Work With

We work directly with corporate claimants and with law firms acting on their behalf. For firms operating under risk-based or deferred fee arrangements, Rook Radcliffe Partners can provide working-capital support that allows the matter to progress without placing pressure on the firm's own resources.

Insolvency & Asset Recovery Funding

Insolvency proceedings frequently surface claims that have real recovery value but no internal budget to pursue them. Insolvency practitioners and creditor committees are often well-positioned to bring these claims but lack the capital to fund the process. Rook Radcliffe Partners provides that capital, allowing recovery actions to proceed on terms that align our return with the outcome of the claim.

We understand the specific constraints of insolvency practice and can work within the timelines and reporting requirements that practitioners operate under.

What Falls Within Scope

  • Liquidator and administrator recovery actions
  • Fraudulent and wrongful trading claims
  • Cross-border asset tracing and enforcement
  • Creditor committee-led litigation
  • Claims arising from pre-insolvency transactions

Portfolio Funding

For law firms and corporates with multiple live matters, case-by-case funding is not always the most efficient structure. Portfolio funding allows Rook Radcliffe Partners to commit capital across a defined group of claims under a single funding agreement, with returns calculated across the portfolio.

This approach gives law firms greater flexibility to manage their caseload commercially, and gives corporate legal departments a cleaner funding structure that does not require a separate investment committee process for each new matter as it arises.

Portfolio funding is particularly well-suited to firms running a volume of mid-size commercial disputes, or to corporates with a recurring pattern of similar claim types across multiple jurisdictions.

Post-Judgment & Enforcement Financing

Rook Radcliffe Partners provides capital for enforcement and post-judgment proceedings as a standalone product. Our role is to fund the enforcement strategy, whether that involves cross-border asset tracing, recognition proceedings in foreign courts, or parallel enforcement actions across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.

This product is available to claimants who hold an unsatisfied judgment or award and require capital to pursue collection. It does not require the underlying claim to have been funded by Rook Radcliffe Partners.

Your Claim Remains Yours

Rook Radcliffe Partners is a capital provider, not a co-claimant. Litigation strategy, settlement decisions, and the conduct of proceedings remain entirely with the claimant and their legal counsel.

We do not direct proceedings, instruct counsel, or impose strategic decisions on the matters we fund. Our role is to provide the capital that allows proceedings to continue and to work constructively with counsel where our input is welcomed — a passive participant whose return depends entirely on the outcome the claimant and their lawyers achieve.

Not Sure Whether Your Claim Qualifies?

The most reliable way to find out is to submit a brief case summary. Our legal team reviews every submission, and all submissions are received in confidence. We execute a formal NDA before any detailed case materials are shared.
