Legal Case Funding & Litigation Funding are specialist services from 1st Class Legal (I.S.) Ltd.

We are fully authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority - our FSA number is 473827.

Our focus is on the provision of legal case funding and ATE insurance for our clients with the best possible terms being provided for each case that is accepted.

The litigation funding system for commercial and civil cases that has been developed is designed to provide cases that pass our acceptance underwriting with highly competitive terms. We do not normally use a set contingency fee that is based on a percentage of the award obtained. With our legal case funding the cost is clearly known upfront, is proportionate, open and costs much less if the case settles early.

Every actual or potential litigant should be aware of our funding system to place them in a position to make a fully informed decision as to how the case is to be funded, the costs involved and the protection available should the case fail. 

We, through our Managing Director, have been involved with the development of both ATE insurance and Litigation Funding from the start of these markets in the UK. Our services are backed by a dedicated team with extensive legal and underwriting experience.

Our Managing Director, Bob Gordon, is one of the most experienced and best known professionals in both the After the Event insurance and Litigation Funding markets.

We have dedicated and exclusive funding systems for legal case funding for most areas of civil and commercial litigation.
