Advantage: commercial litigation funding

Pannone Advantage is a new way of funding commercial litigation and disputes. It is available for the funding of claims and defences alike.

Pannone Advantage gives you an increased ability to manage and control both your own costs and the risk of being exposed to your opponent's costs. Our fresh approach to litigation funding can both reduce your costs and shift the balance of risk in your favour.

The benefits of Advantage commercial litigation funding include:

• An early and detailed assessment of your risk for a fixed fee agreed before we work on your case. We will also propose the most appropriate strategy to resolve the dispute. Read more.
• Insurance cover for your opponent's costs. Read more.
• A discount on your legal fees by as much as 100% under the terms of a conditional fee agreement. Read more.
• Clear costs reports so you can see at a glance your costs to date and likely future costs. Read more.
• Access to third party funding in appropriate cases. Read more.

Litigation funding is a key issue for clients. Litigation is traditionally seen as hard to control in terms of costs and risky in terms of outcome. With the extra flexibility of Advantage, you regain control and can deal with your disputes in a clear and focussed way. You will have an agreed strategy at the outset together with a complete understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of your case. Further, if your case has at least a 60% prospect of success (and your opponent has the means to pay) we will agree to discount our fees by as much as 100% and you will be covered for up to £200,000 of your opponent's costs if you lose.
