Avyana is a litigation funding firm operating across Europe and EMEA. We finance commercial disputes, international arbitration and post-insolvency claims — on a non-recourse basis, from €250,000 to €25 million per matter.

If you win, we share in the recovery.

Why this matters

Every year, billions in legitimate commercial claims go unfunded.

Not because the claims are weak. Because litigation is expensive, slow and uncertain — and most claimants cannot absorb the cost and risk of a multi-year dispute, even when the underlying claim is sound.

The result: counterparties with deeper pockets outlast claimants with better arguments. Justice, in commercial disputes, is not blind. It is capital-constrained.

Avyana removes that constraint.

We absorb the legal cost and carry a share of the risk. The claimant can pursue the claim on its merits, without depleting working capital, balance sheet capacity or management attention.
