Solutions for corporate litigants
Corporate cost-cutting pressures and the soaring costs of litigation significantly limit the ability of companies to rigorously assess and pursue meritorious cases. Yet without in-depth due diligence, companies may pursue less promising litigation while leaving cases with strong potential recoveries on the table.
Bench Walk Advisors’ involvement does more than relieve corporations of financial risk and cost-cutting pressures. Our rigorous pre-engagement case analysis can help companies actually reduce legal costs (and internal staff time) by helping them choose cases with the strongest potential for timely and favorable settlement.
Our financing solutions can allow corporates and financial institutions:
- to unlock undervalued assets and monetize claims
- to raise financing on a non-recourse basis, and therefore to avoid the adverse accounting impact of traditional sources of financing
- to improve the bottom line by eliminating or reducing legal spend, thereby improving EBITDA and corporate valuations
- to increase the number of cases they can afford to pursue.
Level the Playing Field
Bench Walk Advisors funding enables plaintiffs to:
- Challenge deep-pocket defendants
- Choose the best – not necessarily the least expensive – counsel
- Pursue more meritorious cases without increasing legal budgets
Turn Liabilities into Assets
Bench Walk Advisors funding enables plaintiffs to:
- Monetize legal claims
- Sustain a complex lawsuit over a longer time period
- Potentially recover damages with no financial risk
Even when confident of winning cases, companies can benefit from monetizing claims up-front and eliminating the financial burden of financing legal costs. And corporate litigants can aggressively pursue their legal rights without overextending in-house legal departments or distracting management from their core business.
