Our Services to You

Litigation Assist Limited provides highly bespoke funding/financing solutions for commercial Civil Litigation Claims and Disputes, we offer our services in the vast majority of instances on a "No Win - No Fee" basis of engagement. 

We were recently successful in proving a substantial bespoke funding solution of behalf of a client concerning a complex litigation matter against a Defendant Party who enjoyed far larger financial and legal resources than our client (prior to our involvement) was able to provide themselves.

This client complimented our company on the professional services that we were able to provide to them as being comparable to the conflict between "David and Goliath"  as the client informed us that without our expertise and funding solution that we were able to provide that otherwise that they would have had to abandon any hopes that they had to seek financial recourse for their dispute via the Civil Courts. 

Notwithstanding the "David and Goliath" comparison regarding our degrees of professional services and expertise, we recognise that for any potential Claimant party to seek remedies at Law by considering implementing Civil Litigation action(s) against any party can be both extremely daunting, stressful and also have a negative impact on the financial resources for any such Claimant.

 In order to assist this process, Litigation Assist Limited provides highly efficient bespoke Litigation funding solutions coupled with ancillary support services to both individual Claimants and/or their appointed Solicitors/Legal Advisers with regard to all stages of any Commercial Civil Litigation.

We facilitate and administer claims schemes on behalf of specialist Solicitor Practices who act on a “no win – no fee” basis of engagement for seeking compensation by means of financial redress for businesses who have been miss sold energy contracts via Energy Brokers.   

Research has shown that around 75% of businesses have engaged a Third Party Intermediary /Energy Broker to source an energy contract (either separately for either their electricity or gas use or on a combined basis for both their electricity and gas usage) with a significant number of the major energy suppliers. 

The Energy Regulator OFGEN has found that only 23% of Energy Brokers were upfront and transparent about the charges of their fees (# see example below).

It is currently estimated that the total amount of miss selling that has occurred by Energy Brokers to equate to over £2.5 Billion.

Overview of our scheme. 

Businesses who have at any time within the last 20 years have used a Third Party Intermediary /Energy Broker to source deals for their energy usage have in a very high percentage of instances (77% of cases as per OFGEN) been unknowingly paying commissions to the Third Party Intermediary/Energy Broker who had arranged the business customer new Energy deals, these commissions which in many instances can equate up to 50% of the business customers forthcoming energy bills would have been hidden within the business customers gas/electricity bills and any such addition amount(s) were then paid by the Energy Supplier directly to the Third Party Intermediary/Energy Broker without the knowledge or consent of the business customer who had taken out the new Energy contract(s).

In these instances and unless the Third Party Intermediary /Energy Broker had clearly set out to the Business the exact amount of fees that they would be earning from the Energy Supplier on a contractual basis to the business customer, then this scenario amounts to miss-selling by the Third Party Intermediary/Energy Broker which is illegal and as such the business customer is entitled to seek compensation/financial redress for their losses (these being the total amount of hidden fees included within all of their following energy bills since the Energy Suppler implemented the new Energy contract) plus interest.    

           i) A business was approached by a Third Party Intermediary /Energy Broker offering to find new more cost effective energy deals on their behalf.

The quantum of any claim under our scheme will depend upon certain factors, these mainly being twofold in; i) the amount of additional amount that has been hidden within the Energy deal and ii) the amount of time that the business customer thereafter remained in the contract with the Energy Supplier, however from the cases that we have so far seen, the average claim value is £86,000, however we have also seen instances of the claims value being in excess of £1,000,000.

Please note that the above list of cases is not an exhausted list of all of the types of Civil Litigation Cases that we have expertise in handling and we are happy to review and discuss most other types of Commercial Civil Litigation claims with both the Claimant party and their appointed Solicitors or Legal Representatives.  

From our experience within our sector, we recognise that each Civil Litigation claim is unique and that each of our Claimant clients' may have various reasons for utilising Litigation funding facilities, for instance such as potentially; i) alleviating cash flow issues, ii) transfer of liabilities from Balance Sheets/Accounts/Financial Statements or iii) simply that the client requires for a third party to alleviate either all of or alternatively some of the arduous burden of financing the legal and associated costs of their Civil Litigation action.

Upon our full review of each case matter we will then liaise with the client (and/or their legal representative)  with a view to establishing exactly what quantum of funding/financings would be required in order to achieve full Civil Litigation, in this regard in most instances the clients requirements will fall into two options, these are:

1) A full case funding/case financing solution that caters for of all the costs (including the insurance costs of After the Event/ATE Insurance Premiums) associated with the Civil Litigation case concerned.

Or alternatively:

2) A partial case funding/case financing solution to cater for an agreed proportion of the costs (again possibly including the costs of After the Event/ATE Insurance Premiums) associated with the Civil Litigation case concerned.      

In both of the above options, Litigation Assist Limited will offer case funding/case financing facilities for agreed legal and the associated costs up to and including the High Court hearing  stage of the Civil Litigation process, however it is worth noting that a substantial number of Civil Litigation cases are in fact settled at various earlier stages of the Civil Litigation process without the need to progress the claim matter into the High Court, for instances by means of Mediation or via Arbitration and if the claim can be settled at any early stage then the costs of the Civil Litigation process will as such reduce.  

When evaluating what level of funding or financing is required on each Civil Litigation case matter, Litigation Assist will review each case together with appointed Solicitors and Barristers/QC and at the appropriate stage of the Civil Litigation process will also review a detailed Cost Budget (which is known as a "Schedule H") from the defendant party, this aspect is generally required when evaluating what level of After the Event Insurance woudl be most appropriate for each case.
