Unlock the value of your legal claim. Without the downside risk.
momentum provides non-recourse litigation funding for complex commercial claims in Germany.
Markets create value when their rules are respected.
momentum is a German based litigation funder focused on securities and capital markets disputes, competition damages, copyright and other commercial claims.
The model is simple: when market rules are violated, momentum funds the enforcement of claims as a result on behalf of the harmed party. In return, momentum participates in the proceeds upon success.
Investment Recovery
Align recovery with fund structures and fiduciary duties.
Legal finance enables institutional investors to enforce investor rights often in a group action without diverting capital from core mandates – or monetize claims for immediate liquidity, converting long-duration recoveries into present value.
Competition Claims
Pursue your private enforcement claim on equal footing.
Cartel and market abuse cases turn on complex economic evidence, and costs often favour deep-pocketed defendants. Legal finance helps to level the playing field, often within a plaintiff group organized by momentum.
Other Business Claims
Strengthen the balance sheet. Focus on your business.
Litigation can become a significant balance-sheet burden. Legal finance enables IP holders, PE sponsors, and other claim holders to transfer litigation risk and costs to a funder or monetise claims outright for immediate liquidity and peace of mind.
Two ways to unlock claim value:
Litigation Funding
momentum covers the legal costs. You keep control and the upside.
momentum finances court fees, lawyer fees, and expert costs. In return, momentum receives an agreed share of the proceeds.
For claim holders, litigation funding:
- removes cost from balance sheet,
- preserves liquidity,
- retains the majority of the recovery,
- means bearing duration risk and outcome risk.
Claim Monetization
momentum acquires your claim. You receive liquidity and certainty now.
When certain value today is more valuable than an uncertain recovery tomorrow, momentum may acquire legal claims outright.
For claim holders, claim monetization:
- generates immediate, certain liquidity,
- converts an illiquid claim into working capital,
- eliminates duration risk and outcome risk,
- means substantial discount on potential upside (optional earn-out).
What drives success in litigation?
Success in complex litigation is rarely accidental. It results from the alignment of several key elements.
Strong legal merits are the foundation.
At the heart of every successful case lies a clear legal theory supported by compelling facts and evidence which translate into persuasive legal arguments.
momentum works with a curated network of leading specialist law firms across key jurisdictions to maximize the legal strength of each claim.
A claim is only as strong as its provable damages.
The strength of a claim often turns on the credibility of its damages model.
momentum work with experienced economists and quantum experts who develop a robust economic analysis and are speaking the language of the court.
Winning a judgment is only part of the journey.
A successful litigation strategy considers recoverability from the outset. Identifying attachable assets is a critical element of litigation success.
momentum works with globally active asset tracing experts to identify and recover enforceable assets.
Litigate from a position of strength.
Complex litigation is often not pursued not because claims are weak, but because of the cost, duration, and financial risk associated with litigation.
Litigation funding removes these constraints by providing the capital required to pursue a genuine claim through to judgment.
