Disciplined capital for disputes that deserve to be argued.
We are selective. We are direct. We are fast.
The four areas where Avyana deploys capital — and the criteria that govern every commitment.
Commercial Litigation
Breach of contract. M&A and warranty claims. Shareholder and joint-venture disputes. Director liability. Fraud and asset recovery. Complex multi-party commercial litigation.
A quantified claim above €500,000. Solid factual foundation. Credible case team. Identifiable counterparty with assets. A realistic path to judgment and enforcement.
Jurisdictions: Germany, Switzerland, Austria, England & Wales, Netherlands, France, Spain, and further EMEA jurisdictions where enforcement is viable. We finance both claimant-side litigation and cross-claims in multi-party proceedings.
International Arbitration
Commercial arbitration under ICC, LCIA, SCC, DIS, VIAC and ad hoc rules. Investment treaty arbitration under ICSID, UNCITRAL and bilateral investment treaty frameworks. Award enforcement proceedings, including attachment and recognition in third-country jurisdictions.
Arbitration costs are predictable, budgetable and front-loaded. The funding structure maps cleanly onto the procedural timetable. Award enforcement — often the most capital-intensive phase — can be funded as a standalone commitment where the merits risk is behind the claimant.
We have financed enforcement proceedings in 12 jurisdictions, following the counterparty’s assets across multiple enforcement regimes.
Insolvency Claims
Avoidance actions (claw-back claims under §§ 129 ff. InsO and equivalent European statutes). Director and officer liability claims. Asset recovery mandates alongside insolvency administrators and trustees. Claims against third parties (banks, advisors, shareholders) arising from the insolvency.
We work alongside insolvency administrators, not in competition with them. Our capital enables the estate to pursue recovery actions that would otherwise be abandoned for lack of funds — returning value to creditors that would otherwise be lost.
We structure insolvency funding to respect the administrator’s procedural obligations and reporting requirements.
Portfolio Funding
Cross-collateralised facilities for law firms carrying multiple contingency or reduced-fee matters. Corporate claimants with multiple related or unrelated commercial claims. Claim portfolios arising from a single corporate event (M&A dispute, joint-venture breakdown, regulatory action).
A portfolio facility allows the funder to take a blended risk across multiple matters — which reduces the required return per case, producing better economics for the law firm and the underlying claimants. For the funder, portfolio diversification reduces concentration risk and improves capital efficiency.
We offer portfolio facilities from €2,000,000, structured as committed or uncommitted facilities with agreed draw conditions.
Every opportunity is reviewed against five dimensions.
Legal merits
Is the claim well-founded in fact and law? Has independent counsel assessed it? What is the realistic range of outcomes?
Quantum
Is the claim size proportionate to the funding required? We typically require a minimum 5:1 ratio of claim value to funding commitment.
Enforceability
Where does the counterparty hold assets? What is the enforcement risk in the relevant jurisdiction? Has the enforcement path been mapped?
Counterparty
Is the defendant solvent? Is there a realistic prospect of collection? Is there litigation or regulatory exposure that might affect recoverability?
Case team
Is the legal team experienced in this type of dispute? Is case management credible and efficient? Are incentives aligned?
Personal injury claims. Consumer disputes. Cases without identifiable enforcement prospects. Matters where the primary purpose is reputational damage to the counterparty rather than commercial recovery.
A strong case deserves to be argued.
