What Pravati Capital does

Pravati Capital is a U.S. litigation finance firm founded in 2013 and headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, that provides non-recourse capital to law firms, attorneys, and commercial plaintiffs pursuing legal claims, and manages alternative-investment funds that package exposure to those cases for outside investors. Its core product is case-by-case litigation funding under bespoke, confidential terms, with repayment contingent on successful resolution; specialized modules extend the offering across portfolio funding, class action, commercial, competition/antitrust, DIP, insolvency, international arbitration, patent, and securities/shareholder matters. The firm's underwriting is performed by a team of experienced attorney underwriters using a proprietary risk-assessment methodology that evaluates case merits and recoverable value, rather than disclosed quantitative or ML-based models.

The firm earns revenue through two streams: transaction-level returns from funded cases (a portion of settlements or judgments on successful outcomes) and management plus performance fees on its litigation-finance investment funds, which have launched in successive vintages from Fund I through Fund VI since 2013. Fund V closed at $200 million in August 2020 and for the first time admitted non-U.S. and U.S. tax-exempt international investors; Fund VI was in closing phase as of September 2025. On the distribution side, Pravati combines direct sales to law firms and commercial litigants with a February 2026 strategic partnership with SEI Investments that makes its strategies available to RIAs and wealth managers through the SEI Access marketplace. Customer concentration is dispersed across three primary segments (law firms, commercial litigants, investors), with a 15-person team, and the firm is led by founder and CEO Alexander Chucri.
