International arbitration
Arbitration capital, underwritten through to enforcement
Financing for commercial and investment treaty arbitration where jurisdiction, merits, quantum and the respondent's assets can be assessed before capital is committed.
Executive overview
An arbitral award is only as valuable as the assets it can reach. Many funders price the hearing and treat enforcement as an afterthought. We start with the respondent: where it holds assets, how it has behaved after past awards, and which courts will recognize the result.
Our capital covers tribunal and institutional fees, counsel and quantum experts through the award, with the enforcement budget considered from the start.

Questions
Frequently asked
Other solutions
Do you fund claims against states?
Yes, where treaty protection is clear and there is a credible path to payment or to commercial assets outside immunity.
Can you work with Spanish-language records?
Yes. Our team reviews Spanish-language contracts, filings and registries directly, which is useful for Latin American counterparties.
Do tribunals require disclosure of funding?
Several institutional rules and treaties now require disclosure of a funder's identity. We work with counsel to comply.
