What Therium Group Holdings does

Therium Group Holdings is a London-headquartered, privately held litigation funding firm incorporated as Therium Capital Management Limited and operating across five continents with an 11–50 employee base. Founded in 2009 and co-founded by CIO Neil Purslow, the firm provides third-party capital for legal proceedings in exchange for a share of recoveries, with a track record spanning 18 funds, over $1.1 billion raised, and approximately $100 billion in total funded claim value. Its portfolio of cases covers single matters, arbitration, group/class actions, law firm portfolio funding, and corporate portfolio funding across commercial disputes, securities litigation, competition/antitrust, intellectual property, and insolvency.

Service delivery is structured around direct, relationship-based enterprise origination with law firms, corporates, and institutional investors, supported by a portfolio-construction product that the firm states delivers 15–30% cost savings versus single-case funding. Revenue is contingency-based: returns arise only on successful case outcomes, with no public pricing tiers because each arrangement is negotiated on merits, duration, and risk. Marquee matters include the UK Volkswagen dieselgate group action (£193 million settlement), the Post Office Horizon sub-postmasters litigation, Daimler Truck Cartel claims, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Dominos employee class action, Wirecard investor claims, and Google Safari Workaround representative action.

In October 2025, the group placed legacy funder Therium Capital Management into run-off and launched Therium Capital Advisors (TCA), an independent advisory subsidiary co-founded by Neil Purslow and former Haitong M&A head Harry Stockdale. TCA offers end-to-end advisory — funding strategy, capital sourcing, financial modelling, deal structuring, ongoing case management, and secondary-market advisory — to claimants, law firms and corporates in the UK, continental Europe and Australia. The shift repositions Therium from a principal capital deployer toward a capital-light advisory franchise while retaining credibility built on its funded-claims track record.
