1. SINGLE CASES We will team with you to finance a single case. Our financing covers all legal costs including briefing law firms, barristers, expert witnesses and court or arbitration fees.
2. DISBURSEMENTS ONLY OR PART OF THE COSTS
   If you only require cover for disbursements (for example barristers, experts and court or institutional filing fees) or want to allay only part of the costs, we customise finance to your needs.
3. PORTFOLIO When you have multiple potential claims, awards or judgments that can be bundled, we can finance the entire portfolio, often with favourable pricing and the ability to finance defences in the portfolio.
4. WORKING CAPITAL / OPERATIONAL COSTS

In addition to financing your case or recovery, we can provide finance for your business' operational costs pending the resolution of your dispute or enforcement. You can leverage the value in your contingent arbitration or litigation assets to secure funds for legal expenditure or general business purposes or simply to declare as profits.

1. "SEED" FINANCING Sometimes you need to explore whether your claim is worth pursuing. We can finance up-front 'seed' costs (such as paying for expert opinions) for assessing the merits of a claim along with contributing extensive experience to your case analysis and strategy.
2. ADVERSE COSTS AND SECURITY FOR COSTS
   We provide up-front 'security for costs' when required.

We also cover you for adverse costs (i.e. any costs you are ordered to pay if your case is unsuccessful). In other words, we protect you from the downside risks of litigation.

1. ENFORCEMENT AND RECOVERY We provide the finance, strategic know-howand project management to trace assets and recover unpaid arbitration awards or judgments against able, but unwilling, debtors.
2. SALE OF LEGAL ASSETS Your debt, judgment or award, and certain other claims (such as insolvency claims which may be held by other parties), can be sold to Omni Bridgeway via an assignment - a quick way to return cash to your business and let you focus on operations and growth.
