We work with law firms, businesses, and insolvency practitioners to fund strong claims. We back you with capital and a funding team of experienced litigators — and nothing to repay if the claim is unsuccessful.
A third party — like us — covers your legal costs in exchange for a pre-agreed share of what you recover. If the case is lost, you owe nothing.
We take the financial risk, so strong claims stand on their merits, not just your finances. Done right, litigation funding fairly balances the interests of the funder, the claimant, and the legal team.
Our experience as litigators means that we can assess quickly, offer clear terms, and stay engaged from the first call to the final outcome.
We cover legal fees and related costs — so you can focus less on the budget and more on the claim.
It’s your claim. We simply remove the financial barriers to pursuing it.
If your claim is unsuccessful and does not recover, there’s nothing to repay.
We partner with litigators to unlock fast fair funding. We turn strong claims into viable, funded cases with a higher chance of success and recovery.
You have a valid commercial claim — but not the resources to fight it alone or you have other uses for your capital. We take the risk of losing away.
We aim to fund your claim on fair terms so that you keep more of the damages. We keep things simple and speak your language.
We work closely with your legal team, manage the cost, and simplify the process from start to finish.
We help insolvency practitioners unlock unrealised value with fast assessments without adding to your workload.
We’d also buy your claims whilst allowing you to retain your lawyers.
Litigation funding means that a company like New North (called a “funder”) invests in a claim by funding some or all the legal costs of pursuing it. In return, a funder gets a pre-agreed ‘fee’ that is only payable on a successful outcome to the claim.
To see if your claim meets our criteria, call us to discuss.
These will vary case by case, depending on your requirements, but tend to be:
We like working with lawyers who back their judgment in cases they’re running by agreeing that part of their fee will only be paid on success (we’d fund the rest).
Yes. We can flex funding to meet your requirements.

Yes. New North was created to make litigation funding more accessible by offering faster and fairer funding terms.
New North is run by experienced litigators who will be familiar with the types of claims that we’re looking to fund so can price quickly and more competitively.
Call or email us on:
If we like your claim, we’ll ask you (or your lawyer) to complete an application form and aim to offer funding in 14 days.
Yes. We aim to offer indicative terms within 3 days of receiving an application form.
Yes. New North can provide ‘seed’ funding, for example, to pay for the cost of an initial barrister’s opinion on the merits of a claim or for expert evidence to build a clear picture of the size and merits of a claim.
You wouldn’t have to pay New North anything.
If you pursue your claim through court, the general rule is that the ‘loser pays’ the other party’s legal costs. The court would determine the level of those costs if the parties couldn’t agree a figure.
Yes, by obtaining ‘after the event’ (‘ATE’) insurance or where New North agrees to do so as part of its funding arrangement.
It is a condition of New North’s funding that the applicant has appropriate ATE insurance that is fortified by an ‘anti-avoidance endorsement’ (‘AAE’). New North has strong relationships with insurers who have tested their ATE and AAE policy wording in court and we can connect them to you with the aim of them offering insurance within the same timescales as we’ll be working to (14 days from your funding application).
No. We’ll consider funding applications directly from lawyers, claimants and insolvency practitioners.
Yes, where the law permits, as in certain insolvency claims.
Once we have your completed application form, we’ll let you know if we’re interested in funding it. After that, we do our due diligence (check the claim carefully), negotiate the terms, and go through our internal approval process. This can take a few weeks, but we aim to put funding in place in 14 days.
Yes, where they form part of the costs budget we’ve agreed to fund.
New North will focus on claims seeking compensation between £500,000 and £30m that most other funders won’t fund. We can also offer competitive pricing on larger claims.
New North will only fund claims that are subject to English and Welsh law. Claimants can be based anywhere in the world but their claim would need to be pursued through the courts (or other means) of England and Wales.
Yes. Call us to explore options
New North has an initial £50million to invest in good claims.
The success fee depends on the claim’s risks and strengths. It’s calculated based on a multiple of the funds we’ve provided.
Yes, provided you do not act improperly or in breach of the funding terms.
New North is owned by Capital Law, a commercial law firm authorised and regulated by the SRA in England and Wales.
