The Calunius Litigation Risk Fund LP (the "Calunius Fund") was launched in December 2010 with £40 million of capital to invest in litigation and arbitration funding.
Calunius Capital LLP (“Calunius Capital”) acts exclusively as the investment advisor to the Calunius Fund.
All applications for litigation funding from the Calunius Fund should be made, in the first instance, to Calunius Capital.
The Calunius Fund will fund commercial litigation and arbitration claims in both domestic and international contexts under a wide range of applicable laws.
Calunius Capital has been authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority as an Investment Adviser since June 2007, during which time Calunius has become globally recognised as a leading brand in large scale Commercial Litigation Funding. The Calunius Fund is authorised by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission.

Herbert Smith - 25 January 2012
Litigation powerhouse, Herbert Smith, recently held a seminar to discuss how anticipated changes to the costs and funding regime are likely to change the litigation landscape. Calunius chairman Leslie Perrin, was one of the speakers along with Lord Justice Jackson. Here is a copy of Herbert Smith’s bulletin following the seminar and a link to a fuller version of the report on Herbert Smith’s "litigation notes" blog.
Effective regulation is key to the sustainability of litigation funding - 20 January 2012
A report to be published later this month by researchers at the University of Oxford comes to the conclusion that litigation funding is useful in granting access to justice; the report further addresses the question whether effective regulation is needed within the sector to protect the integrity of all parties. Calunius participated in the market survey carried out by the researchers and we hope that with the help of the newly established Association of Litigation Funders, third party funders will agree to abide by the new Code of Conduct for Litigation Funding. For further information, please refer to the University’s website.

If you are fortunate enough to subscribe to Global Arbitration Review you can read an article by Calunius’ Christian Stuerwald and Mick Smith deliberating the Fuchs and Kardassopoulos v Georgia ICSID case. It is unusual that details of an investment treaty claim supported by litigation funding are released into the public domain.
