About Asertis Ltd
Asertis is a litigation funder. We provide balance-sheet funding for litigation where there has been clear wrongdoing and claimants are either unable to fund legal action themselves or wish to transfer the risk of litigation, typically by assignment.
Asertis invests in a wide range of high-value claims and disputes, covering commercial litigation, arbitration, group actions, securities litigation, and enforcement. We fund and purchase sizeable commercial disputes running into multi-millions of pounds of investment.
Asertis remains distinctive in the market due to its size and agility, and its on-balance-sheet funding model—but also in its ethical stance. We always seek to be on the side to right, supporting cases that are morally as well as legally sound.
