The mechanism, in four moves
Buying a claim outright is different from funding one. The holder exits at signing rather than at judgment, which changes how the file has to be underwritten.
Screen & underwrite
Legal and data teams assess liability, collectability and the enforcement route in parallel. An underwriting decision lands within fifteen business days.
Acquire the claim
We purchase the claim outright at an agreed discount. The original holder takes certain cash today and stops carrying costs and downside risk.
Run the process
We appoint and manage counsel, drive the litigation, arbitration or settlement, and carry costs and security obligations throughout.
Enforce & share
Recognition and enforcement are pursued across the relevant jurisdictions at once. Proceeds are distributed down a waterfall fixed before deployment.
Six ways capital enters a dispute
Outright acquisition is the flagship. The remaining five exist because not every holder wants to sell, and not every claim should be bought.
Claim Acquisition & Advance Funding
We purchase the claim or receivable outright at a discount. The holder exits immediately with certainty, and ArbiHonor thereafter carries the full cost and downside of the proceedings and drives them.
Single-Case Funding
Non-recourse capital for a single high-value dispute — counsel, experts, institutional fees and security for costs. If the claim fails, nothing is repayable.
Portfolio Funding
One facility secured across a basket of matters. Risk diversifies inside the portfolio, so pricing improves materially against single-case terms.
Judgment & Award Enforcement
Capital and cross-border asset tracing for final judgments and awards: recognition and enforcement, veil-piercing, and pursuit through offshore structures.
Law Firm Fee Financing
Monetisation of work already performed on contingency, so the firm sees cash before the matter concludes.
Debt Restructuring & NPL Resolution
Using dispute capability as the core tool to lift recoveries in reorganisation, out-of-court workouts and NPL portfolio resolution.
Redacted, but checkable
Dispute type, forum, stage and outcome type are published. Party names, counsel and economics are not — that is the market norm, and the condition on which counterparties consent.
All mattersDual-track enforcement of an offshore award in the PRC and Hong Kong
The claimant held an HKIAC award against a private group whose assets sat across mainland China and a Cayman structure. Nothing had been recovered in two years.
Portfolio funding of China-concept securities misstatement claims
A group of onshore investors sought recovery for disclosure violations by a US-listed China-concept issuer. Individually, the claims were too small to litigate economically.
Belt-and-Road energy project payment arbitration
A Chinese contractor completed a Middle East power project but went unpaid, the owner resisting on quality grounds.
The names behind the files
Working relationships across banks, asset managers, insurers, trusts, industrial groups and leading law firms. Listing is historical and implies no mutual endorsement.

Enforcement, not filing, decides the return. Counsel and local capability are mapped before a claim is acquired, never after.
Eight years, four offices
The firm was built onshore first and extended outward, which is the harder order but the one that matters for PRC-connected claims.
FirmFounded by disputes lawyers together with structured-finance practitioners, focused on legal finance for China-related cross-border disputes.
Completed a first portfolio spanning Hong Kong and Cayman, validating the offshore recovery route.
Moved underwriting capability to the principal arbitral seats and began taking SE Asian mandates.
Outright acquisition passed half of new commitments, becoming what distinguishes us from conventional funding.
Onshore balance-sheet capital and offshore fund capital now deploy in parallel on the same matter.
Insights & firm news
Regulatory movement, enforcement case notes and the quarterly market read.
All insightsWhen the funder becomes the claim holder, underwriting shifts from merits to enforceability. This issue unpacks what that does to the pricing model.
Since the arrangements took effect, filing and enforcement data show a picture that does not entirely match the design expectation.
Outright assignment is not novel under PRC law, but its validity turns on conditions that are easily overlooked.
Where assets sit behind layered offshore vehicles, a disclosure order is often more effective than substantive veil-piercing.
Send us the claim. We will tell you whether it is fundable.
