Real matters,with the names taken out.
Each entry is a matter we actually funded or acquired. It appears with the consent of those involved, stripped of party names, instructed firms and economics. Concluded matters show how they ended; live ones show their stage and nothing more — we do not book a result before it lands.
Enforcement & Asset Recovery
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.
Securities & Investor 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.
Construction & Energy
A Chinese contractor completed a Middle East power project but went unpaid, the owner resisting on quality grounds.
Insolvency & Restructuring
In a manufacturing insolvency, the administrator identified core equipment transferred to related parties without consideration within a year before filing — but the estate could not fund the action.
Intellectual Property
A Chinese communications technology company asserts continued unlicensed practice of its standard-essential patents in Europe, while facing an injunction application in Germany.
Cross-Border Commercial
An offshore financial investor sought repurchase under a valuation adjustment clause; the founders resisted, arguing the shortfall was not attributable to them.
Antitrust & Competition
Following a regulatory cartel decision, a group of downstream purchasers seeks damages for the overcharge.
Insolvency & Restructuring
An NPL acquirer held dozens of small receivables where the cost and duration of suing individually made the portfolio hard to realise.
What we disclose, and what we hold back
Redaction is the price of consent, not a way to hide the ball. Every field below is either on the record or off it for a stated reason.
On the record
Dispute type, forum or court, jurisdictions touched, year commenced, current stage, outcome type, scale band and elapsed duration — enough to test whether we have really run this kind of claim in these venues.
Held back
Party names, instructed firms, exact amounts, purchase discount, profit share and settlement terms. Those are the terms on which consent is given — and the terms your own matter would be kept under.
What the band measures
The band is the amount claimed — not what we deployed and not what was recovered. The first tells you the size of the fight; the other two are economics and stay private.
Funders see the numbers behind every line.
Per-matter deployment, MOIC, IRR and the signed underwriting memo are open to approved investors. Claimants: the first assessment of your own matter costs nothing.
