Pre-Deal Forensic Case Reviews for Litigation Funders

Collateral Examination

Deep, defensible medical-record and collateral reviews to validate underwriting decisions and reduce sponsor risk.

Defensible Case Analysis for Funding Decisions

Funding decisions often depend on incomplete or inconsistent case documentation. Without a structured review, underwriting teams may face unclear damages exposure, inconsistent medical opinions, documentation gaps, or hidden causation risks.

Our Collateral Examination service provides litigation funders and deal teams with a comprehensive, expert-led review of a firm’s case collateral prior to funding. Through a detailed forensic analysis of medical records and supporting documentation, we identify clinical strengths and weaknesses, exposure risks, and overall litigation readiness.

This independent, expert-driven approach helps reduce uncertainty and supports confident underwriting decisions by delivering:

  • Expert-led forensic review of medical records and case collateral
  • Quantified exposure analysis with risk sensitivity ranges
  • Identification of documentation gaps and potential red flags
  • Defensible reporting suitable for underwriting and syndication decisions

Our Approach

Our structured review process delivers clear, actionable insights to support funder underwriting decisions.
