About Juridica Investments Limited
Juridica Investments is a leading provider of strategic capital to the business community and the legal markets for corporate claims. It invests directly and indirectly in a diversified portfolio of corporate claims in litigation and arbitration. Juridica is one of the premier sources of value-added and direct financing for large business claims in the United States and one of the leading sources in the United Kingdom.
Our clients are Fortune 1000 companies, FT Global 500 companies, inventors, major universities, and the leading law firms that represent them. The Company only accepts cases that have already been carefully vetted and undertaken by leading lawyers.
Juridica works to make the legal system work better for business claims. It does not invest in speculative claims or claims that do not demonstrate economic value and clear merits. Juridica invests only in business claims, and does not invest in class actions, personal injury, product liability, or mass tort claims.
Our goal is to provide business clients with financial choices that reduce risk and assist in maximising claim value.
Juridica was established on 21 December 2007 as a limited liability, closed-ended investment company registered in Guernsey. It has over US$200 million of assets under management. It was the pioneer in alternative litigation financing and the first closed-end fund of its kind ever listed on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange (AIM: JIL.L).
The Company has appointed Juridica Capital Management Limited as its exclusive investment manager to locate, evaluate and manage direct and indirect investments in cases, claims and disputes.
