Civil Contract Litigation

Since our incorporation nearly ten years ago, TheJudge has secured After the Event insurance for the full range of civil contract disputes. Whether the dispute is brought by an individual against a financial institution, trade supplier, insurance company or another third party, we have undoubtedly handled similar cases previously.

Our specialist risk transfer broking team will know which litigation insurers and/or Third Party Funders to approach, what can be negotiated and above all, provide impartial guidance throughout the whole process. 

We recognise that for many civil litigants, the cost of litigating can appear prohibitive. Fortunately, help is at hand. Provided that underwriters agree that the case is likely to succeed, it is highly probable that the team at TheJudge will be able to secure ATE insurance offers on a deferred and self-insured premium basis. This means that a client can typically insure the adverse cost risk, as well as insuring their own disbursements (including Counsel’s fees), at no upfront cost and at no cost at all if the case is unsuccessful. Should the case succeed, the premium should be recoverable from other side, along with the legal costs. Whilst conditional fee agreements (CFAs) are commonplace in this type of litigation, it is by no means a prerequisite to have a CFA in place to secure offers of litigation insurance or Third Party Funding.
