Litigation funding

Ploum and Liesker Procesfinanciering, market leader in the Dutch legal market in the field of litigation funding, work together in financing large-scale litigation, such as cartel damage cases and large commercial claims. Litigation funding is a highly effective and strategic tool in large-scale cases to cover business risks in a responsible way. Thanks to the partnership, Ploum clients can use litigation funding as a financing instrument to cover the costs associated with large lawsuits - a business risk - more easily and at more competitive terms. Ploum will guide the client through the financing process in an accelerated manner, so that the client will know within one month whether its case can be funded. After successfully completing the funding process, the client can then use litigation funding at a reduced rate.

Structural increase in cartel damage cases and large claims

For years, Liesker Procesfinanciering has seen a structural increase in the number of large lawsuits. These mainly involve cartel damage cases and large commercial claims. In line with this, Liesker Procesfinanciering is also receiving an increasing number of corporate applications to use funding. By joining forces, Ploum and Liesker Procesfinanciering can provide a much more focused and efficient service to both SMEs and corporates, and after a successfully completed funding process, we are all on the same page. That is of great importance in this type of business.

About Liesker Procesfinanciering

Liesker Procesfinanciering, based in Breda (the Netherlands) and founded in 2011, focuses on funding high-potential claims, both from individuals and companies, with a minimum value of €500,000. Litigation is handled by external lawyers (firms), usually on a fixed fee basis. If the case is won, the litigation costs are paid from the proceeds and Liesker receives a fee of approximately 30% of the remaining amount. In the event of a loss, the litigation costs are paid by Liesker and the claimant remains immune from costs. Most of the cases Liesker Procesfinanciering funds, involve business disputes. Liesker Procesfinanciering is the market leader in the Dutch legal market and the only party that applies litigation funding on a large scale in practice.
