The Calunius Approach

Commercial disputes are endemic in business life but the process of resolving them can carry substantial financial risks.  Even for Claimants with the best advisers and the strongest cases, the risks of commercial litigation and arbitration are well-known; heavy, unpredictable costs, long delays and uncertain outcomes.

The costs of resolving disputes include solicitors’ and barristers’ charges, fees for experts to give evidence in support of the case and the possibility of having to pay the other side’s costs if the claim is unsuccessful.

These costs represent a potent disincentive to businesses from pursuing their claims, even where the merits of the claim are strong.

By and large, businesses are accustomed to managing the financial risks of their businesses by hedging, for example in respect of interest rates or foreign currency requirements.  Some businesses use factoring services to cushion their cash flows against bad debts.  Many businesses have expressed a wish that the financial risks of litigation could be approached in a similar way.  In response to this, Calunius has developed an expertise in procedures that reduce litigation risks to the proportions of a manageable business risk.

Now any commercial Claimant can hedge the risks involved in pursuing commercial litigation, through the use of TPF.
