About

Since our launch in 2017, Bench Walk has established itself as a global litigation funder with a proven track record of investment success.

Alongside developing a mature and diversified portfolio of investments with $1b+ committed across of 250+ matters, we are proud to have maintained our pragmatic approach to risk.

Bench Walk is renowned for its ability and commitment to making fast decisions and operating flexibly.

Our award-winning team combines the perspectives of litigator and deal-maker to provide creative solutions for legal finance. Each of our clients deals directly with a highly experienced, deal-oriented decision maker throughout the review process and we are capable of closing a deal within 8 weeks (from first contact, to signed documents/initial funding).

Bench Walk can commit financing at any stage of a litigation or arbitration. Much of our financing is non-recourse. The terms of each engagement are individually negotiated, and we are generally compensated only when there is a recovery – consistent with all ethical guidelines.
