Investment Funding Criteria 

While the facts of each case are unique, Taurus Heights Group invests in litigation opportunities having the following characteristics:

  • Commercial Claims

We specifically invest in business, organization, and commercial plaintiffs with business and IP-related claims.

  • Merit

We invest in claims that, after a rigorous analysis of the law and evidence, we believe will and should win.

  • Funding Amount

We invest in matters requiring $1 million or more.

  • Jurisdiction

Our investments range from U.S. to international jurisdictions.

  • Damages

Reasonably expected damages should provide sufficient coverage for the investment return without distorting the claim holder’s incentives.

  • Recoverability

Defendants must be able to pay a settlement or judgment.


The Funding Process 

Our process provides industry-leading speed, transparency, and responsiveness.

Initial Inquiry 

We will have an initial discussion to determine if the matter is a good fit for Taurus Heights Group and the counterparty. If so, we will enter into a non-disclosure agreement and collect background information about the case.

Underwriting & Analysis 

Underwriting is an iterative process involving the litigant and its attorneys. We will discuss and evaluate the legal analysis, available evidence, and case strategy. We will also evaluate the potential damages and whether the defendant is capable of paying a large award.

Term Sheet & Final Documents 

After underwriting the substance of the claim, Taurus Heights Group will provide a term sheet that lays out the anticipated pricing and other key terms. After the term sheet is executed, Taurus Heights Group will finalize its diligence and then provide its counterparty with a set of transactional documents. Upon execution, these will be the legally binding documents for the agreement.

Fund & Monitor 

After execution of the investment documents, the real work of the case begins. Taurus Heights Group will begin financing the litigation consistent with the agreement. At the same time, we monitor each case and offer strategic input as requested. Our counterparties routinely express appreciation for our insight in their cases.

Monetize 

When the case concludes, the proceeds will be received and distributed as specified in the investment agreement.
