This type of funding allows matters to move forward without undue financial strain, supporting clients’ access to justice.

What Types of Cases Qualify for Litigation Financing
Litigation finance can be a powerful tool for a wide range of high-stakes legal matters. Eligible cases include:
- Commercial litigation – Breach of contract, business disputes, fraud, and other complex commercial claims
- Mass torts & class actions – High-impact cases involving multiple plaintiffs across jurisdictions
- Antitrust & securities litigation – Claims involving market manipulation or financial securities violations
- Whistleblower (qui tam) cases – Corporate fraud or government contract abuses brought to light by insiders
Virage’s Commitment to Integrity in Litigation Finance
- Your Privilege is Protected: Our funding structures are designed to maintain the highest levels of attorney-client privilege. Sensitive case information remains confidential, and nothing is disclosed without your consent.
- You Stay in Control: We provide the capital you need, but legal strategy always remains in your hands. Attorneys and clients decide how cases are litigated, never the funder.
Fair Terms and Transparency - Fair Terms and Transparency: We believe in clear, fair funding agreements. All terms are fully disclosed upfront, ensuring both sides understand their rights and obligations from day one. This alignment builds trust and prevents disputes down the road.
With Virage, you gain a strategic partner who supports your cases without ever compromising your independence, ethics, or client relationships.
Our Litigation Finance Solutions
At Virage Capital Management LP, we provide customized funding solutions tailored to the unique needs of each case. As the legal industry continues to explore alternative business structure models, litigation finance has emerged as a complementary tool that allows firms to access capital while maintaining independence.
- Law Firm Portfolio Financing
- We offer capital to lawyers and law firms based on a portfolio of cases rather than a single case. This approach provides financial stability and allows firms to manage multiple cases efficiently.
How the Litigation Funding Process Works with Virage
Pursuing high-value litigation often requires significant upfront investment—expert witnesses, discovery costs, depositions, and trial preparation can strain even well-capitalized firms. Virage Capital Management LP streamlines the path from inquiry to funding so you can stay focused on advancing case strategy while maintaining cash-flow flexibility.
A Straightforward, Confidential Timeline
- Initial case discussion: We begin with a high-level review of the matter, key milestones, and funding objectives.
- Document request & analysis: Our team evaluates liability, damages, collectability, and procedural posture using a disciplined underwriting approach.
- Term sheet & economics: If the opportunity aligns with our investment criteria, we provide proposed terms for your review and consideration.
- Due diligence & documentation: We work efficiently with your team to complete diligence and negotiate and finalize the funding agreement.
- Funding & ongoing support: Once finalized, capital may be deployed for approved fees and expenses. We remain a responsive financial partner as the matter progresses.
Funding Built for Real-World Litigation Demands
- Flexible structures: Solutions can be tailored for single matters, portfolios, or specific litigation expenses, depending on the needs of the firm and the characteristics of the cases.
- Non-recourse design (where applicable): Funding is typically structured so that repayment is contingent on case outcomes, although specific terms may vary by engagement.
- Support operational stability: Access to external capital—often discussed alongside alternative business structure models—can help firms manage litigation costs and timing considerations without relying solely on internal resources.
- Confidential, professional engagement: We understand the sensitive nature of ongoing matters and prioritize discretion throughout the process. Information is handled pursuant to confidentiality agreements and applicable legal standards.
Important Considerations
Virage provides capital to support litigation but does not direct legal strategy or control case decisions. Attorneys and their clients retain full authority over how matters are litigated and resolved.
Funding structures are designed to align with applicable laws and ethical obligations. While we take steps to support confidentiality and privilege where appropriate, treatment of such information may depend on jurisdiction, court rules, and specific case circumstances.
