Disbursement Funding
Disbursement funding covers the out-of-pocket expenses required to advance a legal claim — expert witnesses, economic analysis, e-discovery, forensic accounting, arbitrator fees, and more. These costs can be substantial, particularly in class actions, arbitration, and insolvency matters where the stakes and complexity are high.
Norlit provides non-recourse funding for these disbursements, ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent meritorious cases from being pursued to their full potential.
Cases We Fund
Securities litigation, competition cases, product liability, consumer protection, and mass torts across multiple jurisdictions. We understand the certification process, common issues requirements, and the settlement dynamics unique to class proceedings. Our founders have successfully litigated these cases for decades.
Domestic and international arbitration, including investment treaty disputes. We fund expert fees, arbitrator costs, venue expenses, and the full range of disbursements required to advance claims through arbitral proceedings and into enforcement.
The new private access regime creates significant opportunities for parties to pursue antitrust claims directly before the Competition Tribunal. Norlit funds the disbursement costs of these proceedings, which can involve complex economic evidence and expert testimony.
High-stakes preference actions, fraudulent conveyance claims, director liability, and bankruptcy litigation. These matters often require substantial expert funding — forensic accountants, industry specialists, and economic analysts — that can be prohibitively expensive without dedicated support.
What We Cover
We fund the full range of litigation expenses, allowing counsel to focus on the case rather than the costs.
ATE Insurance
Some funders bundle disbursement funding and adverse cost insurance into opaque packages with hidden fees and excessive returns. Norlit takes a different approach.
We work seamlessly with leading after-the-event insurance providers to coordinate integrated solutions when needed. Our deep relationships with underwriters — and our expertise in evaluating case strength — allow us to help secure competitive insurance premiums that reflect the true quality of your case.
You get transparent pricing on disbursement funding and access to best-in-class ATE coverage, with full visibility into what each component costs.
