Pursuing a dispute always involves financial risk – even when the case is strong. It also places pressure on a company’s liquidity throughout the process. As a result, many companies choose to abandon even well-founded claims. Through our collaboration with Litigium Capital, we offer flexible pricing models that make it possible to pursue legal proceedings without bearing the full cost yourself. You retain control of the process – we share the risk.
Morris Law has entered into a collaboration agreement with legal financing company Litigium Capital for the financing of disputes. The agreement, likely the first of its kind in the Nordic region, means that Litigium Capital will invest in a portfolio of disputes managed by Morris Law on full or partial contingency (under a success-based fee model).
