Dispute Funding Readiness™ · UNIONE™

A fundable claim is not the same thing as a good claim - and a good claim may not need funding.

Dispute Funding Readiness™ helps a company organise the economics, evidence, documentation and recovery information likely to matter if external dispute funding is being considered.

Page intelligence · Assessment / Decision Support

Use this page to decide whether, when and how the organisation should escalate a live dispute.

Decision lens 04Process economics

Time, cost, funding, security and recoverability before filing.

Ask UNIONE about this pagePage-aware prompts
01 · Readiness

Funding diligence examines the claim as an investment as well as a legal case.

The company should understand that distinction before approaching funders.

01

Merits

Coherent legal theory, jurisdiction and evidence sufficient for diligence.

02

Quantum

Credible damages methodology and value relative to expected process cost.

03

Budget

Reasoned phase budget for counsel, experts, institution, tribunal and enforcement.

04

Recovery

Counterparty credit, assets, security and enforceability / collection assumptions.

05

Documentation

Core contracts, pleadings / notices, evidence, expert material and legal assessments organised for diligence.

02 · Commercial decision

Funding changes economics, control and settlement incentives.

It should be evaluated as a financing choice, not merely a way to avoid legal spend.

01

Capital need

Why external funding is being considered and what costs it would cover.

02

Return economics

How funder economics affect net recovery under different outcomes and timing scenarios.

03

Control / settlement

Understand contractual rights around strategy, settlement, termination and information.

04

Disclosure / regulation

Consider applicable disclosure, privilege, security-for-costs and regulatory questions with qualified counsel.

03 · Neutrality

UNIONE™ should not imply that it guarantees funding or funder appetite.

Funding markets and legal rules differ by jurisdiction and case.

Funding boundary

Dispute Funding Readiness™ organises a matter for a funding decision. It is not an offer of funding, a guarantee that funding will be available, or advice on the legality of funding in any jurisdiction.

Deeper intelligence

A fuller decision view.

This page combines the current 2027 institutional architecture with the deeper commercial and dispute analysis developed in the comprehensive Solutions build.

Make the conclusion auditable.

A decision record should state the current recommendation, the assumptions behind it, the downside if wrong and the next event that will cause management to revisit it.

Output - Question - Board / management use

Recommendation - What should we do now? - Approve / reject / sequence the action.

Assumptions - What facts make the recommendation rational?

The institution can support the business decision before the case becomes procedural momentum.

The current UNIONE™ Marketplace introduces claimants and registered funders; UNIONE™ acts as introducer only, while commercial terms are negotiated directly. Its current model uses ERR enforcement intelligence as part of the case profile.

The legal case dominates the decision even if the commercial outcome says otherwise.

Legal strength is only one input into an outcome decision.

The Funder Investment Screen

Convert a complex legal file into a controlled executive choice.

Potential structure depends on funder and case profile.

Funding cannot repair weak merits or poor recovery.

Balance-sheet capital - Use where economics justify retaining full upside.

What can change the answer.

The decision should be refreshed when a material assumption changes.

Funding cost must fit realistic damages / recovery.

Funding agreement should address settlement and strategy rights.

Third-party funding disclosure varies by rules / seat.

Current-status control. Earlier material has been retained only where it adds substantive decision value. Legacy claims on Rules effectiveness, universal ERR™, automatic appointments, fixed timings, unstable counts and historical Barcelona-forward language are not carried into this page.
