First session of the Ramco – Esade Forum
We have launched the first Ramco – Esade forum with the hope of creating an observatory for sharing knowledge, generating debate and being a meeting point for professionals in the sector.
To this end, we have produced the first independent report on the financing of litigation in Spain, which we want to make biannual in order to have a point of reference on the evolution of the sector.
Monetising legal assets across all the world
We provide our bespoke services to a range of clients including corporate clients and law firms..

Ramco has been a pioneer and market leader in developing litigation funding in Spain. Litigation funding can meet some or all of the costs of pursuing the claim in return for a share of the proceeds payable only if the claim is successful.
Arbitration

Ramco has extensive experience on international arbitration and can offer structures specifically tailored to the particular issues that arise in those cases.
Funding for group litigation and class actions
Ramco has a long track record with regard to funding for group litigation and class actions across a wide variety of jurisdictions for clients who would otherwise be unable to seek redress.
Monetising claims, judgements and awards
Monetisation pending claims helps to remove downside risk while monetisation of judgments and awards facilitates the acceleration of enforcement through advance payments to monetise the outcome before its final conclusion.
Law
firms
We work with law firms to monetise areas of their practice, from financing individual cases, class actions or portfolio cases.

BENEFITS
The claimant’s perspective
A claim with reasonable prospects of success is a business asset. While a company may not be able to reflect the prospective value of a claim in its financial statements, it has a value which access to litigation funding may help to unlock.
While initially third party funding was generally confined to claimants with limited resources, in recent years, even large companies with more than adequate cash resources have been using this funding mechanism on a recurring basis, with the objective of maximising the value and profitability of their litigation assets.
Third-party funding can be used at any stage of the judicial or arbitration proceedings and even when the claimant has already exhausted its own resources in the early stages of the proceedings.
BENEFITS
The law firm perspective
Leading law firms face increasing competition in maintaining client relationships. Major law firms are looking for ways to take on more cases and to secure more revenue through alternative fee structures.
Litigation funding provides law firms with the resources to generate new cases and respond to the needs of their clients. Through litigation funding, the claimant can maintain the hourly rate relationship with its lawyers of choice, knowing that the necessary resources will be allocated to the case and the best experts engaged to make the case a success.
BENEFITS
The investor’s perspective
Litigation finance is an alternative asset class, with the clear potential to deliver substantial uncorrelated returns.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is Litigation Funding?
Litigation funding (also known in the UK as Third Party Funding) is a form of litigation financing which involves the funder paying some or all of a party’s legal costs of pursuing a claim in return for a share of the proceeds on success.
What happens if the case is not successful, will I have to repay some money?
No. The litigation funder only gets paid if your case is successful and damages have been obtained. Litigation funding is non-recourse if the case fails.
Do clients have to pay anything during the whole process?
No. There is no cost to clients.
Is it possible to obtain payment for costs incurred by a client before the financing was approved?
As long as these costs are included in the agreed financing budget, historical costs can be financed.
Is it possible to take out adverse costs insurance (ATE insurance)?
Insurance (ATE insurance) can be taken out to cover the risk of any adverse costs award and to ensure that the claimant has this risk covered.
How do I apply for Litigation Funding?
We invite clients to contact RAMCO by email or telephone and make an enquiry under a confidentiality agreement. We usually request a summary of the case from the lawyers, including details of the claim, the amount of the claim and the budget for pursuing the claim, together with details of the defendants.
What about privilege?
Privilege protects communications between the parties and the lawyers. We therefore ask all claimants to sign our NDA as soon as they start sharing information with us.
