We buy claims outright,then win them.
An award nobody pays, a claim too expensive to run, a judgment against a debtor who has moved the money abroad. ArbiHonor reads the file first. If it holds up, we buy it or fund it, instruct counsel where the assets are and enforce there — across 21 jurisdictions. If it does not, we tell you so.
The first read is free, and if we decline we say why. Nothing binds you before signing; once we buy, the costs and the downside are ours, with no recourse to you.

Which side of the table are you on?
A claimant, a law firm and a funder want different answers from us, so each gets its own. The underwriting standard behind all four is the same.
- A written view in fifteen business days: can it be won, and can it be collected
- Counsel and enforcement agents where the debtor is — and on qualifying claims, a funder pays the fees
- Recognition, enforcement and asset freezing, handled by PRC-licensed counsel
- Reporting in English; fees can be tied to what is recovered
- Only matters that have passed a seven-point assessment and drawn funder interest
- Roles and fees agreed before introduction; you contract with the client directly
- Assessed claims graded A / B / C — redacted, but checkable
- Register interest and diligence opens; every assessment carries a named lawyer’s signature
Totals across concluded and live matters since 2017. Per-matter terms, MOIC and IRR are shared only with capital partners.
From the file on our desk to cash in your account
Buying a claim is not the same as funding it. You exit at signing, not at judgment — so we have to be harder on the file up front than a conventional funder would be.
Can it be collected?
Lawyers test liability while our data team maps the debtor’s assets and enforcement history. A written answer within fifteen business days — with reasons, if the answer is no.
Paid at signing
We buy the claim at an agreed discount. You take certain cash now; from then on the fees, the security for costs and the downside are ours.
We run the case
We choose and manage counsel, press the litigation, arbitration or negotiation, and fund every cost and security obligation along the way.
Enforce where the assets are
Recognition and enforcement are filed in every relevant jurisdiction at once, so the assets have nowhere to go. Recoveries are split in the order fixed at signing.
Not every claim should be sold
Outright purchase is what we do most. But some holders only want to shed the cost and keep the upside, and some firms are short of cash, not merits — hence five other ways in.
Claim Acquisition & Advance Funding
You are owed money and tired of chasing it. We buy the claim outright at an agreed discount: cash to you at signing, and every cost, security obligation and downside risk passes to us.
Single-Case Funding
You want to run the case and keep the upside, just not pay for it. We cover counsel, experts, institutional fees and security for costs. If the claim fails, you owe us nothing.
Portfolio Funding
Several claims, none of which quite stands up alone. Packaged together, a loss on one is absorbed by recoveries on the others — and the pricing improves accordingly.
Judgment & Award Enforcement
The award is in hand; the money is not. We fund the enforcement, trace assets through shareholders and offshore layers, and seek recognition where the assets actually are.
Law Firm Fee Financing
The contingency work is done, but the fee arrives only at the end. We turn that receivable into cash now.
Debt Restructuring & NPL Resolution
In insolvency and distressed debt, the value often sits in recovery actions nobody can afford to bring. We fund them.
Names withheld. Facts checkable.
Dispute type, forum, stage and result are published as they stand. Parties, counsel and economics are not: that is the condition on which counterparties consent, and it is how your file will be treated too.
Every matter we can discloseDual-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.
Who we have worked alongside
Banks, asset managers, insurers, trusts, industrial groups and the leading PRC firms. These are past working relationships; none of them endorses us, and we do not claim otherwise.
Where the capital sits
Concluded and live matters by dispute type. No single enforcement jurisdiction is allowed to carry more than 30% of the book.

Twenty-one places we can enforce
Where you enforce decides the return, not where you file. We know who will act for us on the ground before we buy a claim, not after.
Eight years, built from Beijing out
We learned to collect in China before we went abroad. On China-connected claims the people and the assets usually sit on both sides of the border, and a funder that knows only one side stalls halfway.
Who we areStarted by disputes lawyers and structured-finance practitioners to do one thing: price, fund and collect China-connected cross-border claims.
A portfolio spanning Hong Kong and Cayman was recovered — the first proof that the offshore route works.
Underwriters moved next to the principal arbitral seats, and South-East Asian mandates followed.
More than half of new commitments were outright purchases — the client exits at signing, and the cost and risk stay with us.
Balance-sheet capital in China and fund capital offshore can now go into the same matter, so costs on both sides are met at once.
Case notes, rule changes, our read of the market
What changed in enforcement practice this quarter, and what it means for a claim you are holding.
Read the notesWhen 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.
