Private Capital in Litigation Funding

Deploying, Governing and Returning Capital in Legal Claims

De: Peter Murray

Narrado por: Christian Neale

Litigation funding has become one of the most compelling alternative asset classes of the last two decades, yet it remains poorly understood and largely inaccessible to private investors.

In Private Capital in Litigation Funding, Peter Murray provides a rare, practical insight into how capital is deployed into legal claims, how risk is governed throughout the life of a case, and how returns are ultimately realised, often long before trial.

Drawing on real-world experience funding high-value professional negligence and insurance-backed claims, this book explains the litigation funding process step by step: from claim origination and due diligence, through procedural warfare and settlement strategy, to capital recovery and distribution.

This is not a legal textbook, and it is not promotional material. It is a commercially grounded guide written for investors who want to understand:

• how litigation funding actually works in practice;
• where risk truly sits (and how it is mitigated);
• why most cases settle, and why that matters for returns; and
• how private capital can participate alongside experienced funders.

Written in clear, direct language, the book is designed for investors new to litigation funding, family offices, co-funders, and advisers seeking a structured understanding of this increasingly important asset class.
If you are looking for informed exposure to litigation funding, without institutional opacity or theoretical abstraction, this book provides a disciplined, experience-led regime for understanding how capital performs inside the legal system.
