Invest in litigation funding

Partnership funding of £125,000 to £500,000 required to fund a portfolio of 680 to 2,720 UK diesel emission claims against a car manufacturer. The proceeds will fund the law firm’s claim acquisition costs and other expenses. AxiaFunder has previously raised £460,000 for this law firm, funding diesel emission claims against a different car manufacturer, and also raised £3,515,000 of HDR funding via 11 previous offers for the law firm. For the current claims the car manufacturer has already been fined EUR373m by the EU Commission for collusion in a cartel related to diesel emissions. There is evidence of NOx emissions 700% above permitted levels, allegedly concealed by defeat devices. The claims form part of a Group Litigation Order and are being run by 2 large law firms with support from several claimant solicitor group law firms. Another diesel car manufacturer has already settled related UK claims, for over £190m. Counsel’s advice is positive. The law firms running the claims have strong alignment of incentives. A trial on liability is expected in Q1 2026, increasing the likelihood of an early settlement in our view. If the claim settles between 18-24 months, investors will have a Multiple on Capital of up to 2.7x, with further potential increases if the claims take longer to settle. This Investment Offer has an attractive risk reward profile, in our view, with an expected return of c 40% per annum. However, the claims are NOT diversified, being based on the same facts. If the claims are unsuccessful, investors are unlikely to recover any of their investment.

Limited partnership funding of £120,000 to £480,000 required to fund disbursements on a portfolio of 50-200 Housing Disrepair (HDR) claims litigated by a law firm with a dedicated team specialising in HDR claims. AxiaFunder has previously raised £1,740,000 for this law firm via Offer ID 4237, Offer ID 5062, Offer ID 5244, Offer ID 5295 and Offer ID 5400. The majority of the capital raised in the most recent offer (ID 5400) is expected to be deployed by the time this Offer closes. We expect 75% of the HDR claims will be successful (with less than 5% going to trial). Any unsuccessful claims will be replaced by the law firm at no cost to the Partnership. The Defendants are housing associations and local councils. ATE insurance cover will be obtained prior to issuance on each claim. In the unlikely event the law firm is unable to litigate the cases, the claims could be assigned to another law firm. This Investment Offer has an attractive risk reward profile, in our view, with an expected return of c 19-21% per annum from a diversified portfolio of claims. We expect that investors’ principal and investment gains will be gradually paid to their AxiaFunder wallets within 9 and 18 months from when the Offer closes.

Partnership funding of £115,000 to £460,000 required to invest into 625 to 2,500 diesel emission claims in the UK against a large and publicly listed automobile manufacturer. There is evidence of breaches of NOx emissions exceeding the permitted levels by 10x allegedly concealed by defeat devices. The claims form part of a Group Litigation Order and are being run by 2 large law firms with support from several steering committee law firms. The Defendant has already settled similar claims based on the same facts in the USA, Canada and Germany. Another car manufacturer has already settled UK claims based on similar facts for over £190m. Counsel’s advice is positive. The law firms running the claims have strong alignment of incentives. A trial on liability has been set for October 2025 increasing the likelihood of an early settlement in our view. If the claim settles between 12-18 months, investors will have a Multiple on Capital of up to 2.6x, with further potential increases if the Claims take longer to settle. This Investment Offer has an attractive risk reward profile, in our view, with an expected return of c 40% per annum. However, the claims are NOT diversified, being based on the same facts. If the claims are unsuccessful, investors are unlikely to recover any of their investment.

Limited partnership funding of £110,000 required to fund a Francovich claim against a European-based tax authority for discriminatory overcharging of VAT. This claim was previously funded by Offer ID 2244, Offer ID 2817 and Offer ID 4101. The additional funding will be used to fund an application to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Senior counsel considers that the Claimant has a good basis for a claim under EU law and expects that this Claim will have better chances of success with an EU Court (vs. the domestic courts) given the subject matter. The Solicitor and Counsel are engaged on a partial CFA (placing at risk 50% and 40% of their fees, respectively). This offer has an attractive risk-reward profile in our view. If the claim resolves favourably, we estimate investors will have a Multiple on Capital (MoC) of up to 11.4x net of fees. If the claim is unsuccessful, investors are unlikely to recover any of their invested capital. On a probability-weighted basis, we estimate an annualised IRR for investors of c 34.4%. This Offer is categorised as ‘High Risk’.
