Capital with conviction.
Experience with discipline.
Avyana is a specialist litigation funding firm. We deploy patient capital into meritorious commercial disputes — as a financial partner to claimants, counsel and insolvency professionals who understand the value of what they hold and need a capital partner who understands it too.
A firm that does one thing.
We are not a litigation department.
We are not a law firm.
We are not a generic alternative asset manager that has added litigation to its mandate.
We finance commercial disputes with the discipline of a credit investor and the expertise of practitioners who have been on the other side of the table.
- Commercial and international arbitration litigation
- Corporate banking and structured credit
- Private equity and distressed-asset investing
- Insolvency administration and restructuring
- International enforcement across multiple jurisdictions
A matter looks different to someone who has enforced an award in a hostile jurisdiction than it does to someone reading a legal opinion. We employ both.
Four commitments without exception.
Underwriting discipline
Every commitment is reviewed against a structured framework: legal merits, quantum, enforceability, counterparty and downside. We say no frequently. We do so quickly and transparently.
Alignment with counsel
We work with the case team, not over it. Our terms are structured to reward efficient case management, not prolonged proceedings. We have no interest in complexity for its own sake.
Discretion
Every enquiry is covered by NDA from the first substantive exchange. We never discuss funded matters without explicit written consent. Confidentiality is not a policy — it is a professional obligation.
Transparency on terms
Our fee structure is explained clearly before any file is shared. There are no hidden charges, no retainer fees, no adverse fee recharges. The claimant knows exactly what they will owe us — and when.
Pan-European core. EMEA-wide enforcement.
We operate in German, English and Spanish — reflecting the geographic focus of our practice and the languages in which most of the disputes we finance are conducted.
Specialist funder, not regulated investment vehicle.
Litigation funding in the jurisdictions where we operate is not subject to sector-specific licensing requirements as of the current regulatory framework.
The European Commission has published proposals for an EU-wide regulatory framework for litigation funding (PACCAR and subsequent consultations). Avyana monitors this development closely and structures its funding agreements to comply with all applicable and anticipated regulatory requirements.
Our funding agreements are reviewed by qualified counsel in each material jurisdiction before execution. All engagements are subject to applicable AML/KYC requirements.
We finance only the disputes we believe deserve to be argued.
- — Claims whose primary purpose is harassment, reputational damage or tactical delay.
- — Matters involving sanctioned parties or jurisdictions.
- — Cases where the ethical dimension does not stand up to standard investment review.
- — Claims by smaller counterparties against significantly larger ones where the power imbalance would otherwise prevent the claim from being argued.
- — Recovery actions that return value to creditors of insolvent estates.
- — Investment treaty claims that seek to hold sovereign actors accountable for treaty breaches against private investors.
A strong case deserves to be argued.
