Litigation funding, also known as legal financing or third-party funding, is a mechanism that enables a party to finance the costs of legal proceedings with the assistance of an external funder. The funder provides financial support in exchange for a share of any financial recovery awarded to the party if the case is successful. This arrangement allows claimants to pursue their cases without the burden of upfront legal fees or the risk of financial strain.
