Litigation Finance Advisors

What Litigation Finance Advisors does

Litigation Finance Advisors (LFA) is a privately held, independent advisory firm headquartered in Harrison, United States, founded by attorneys Rebecca Berrebi and Ted Farrell. The firm provides fee-based litigation finance advisory services to three primary client segments: law firms seeking financing for litigation matters and portfolio monetization; plaintiffs and individual litigants seeking capital to pursue legal claims; and institutional investors and funders seeking guidance on entering, exiting, and structuring litigation finance positions. LFA explicitly does not take positions in deals or accept commissions from funders, positioning itself as conflict-free in a market where intermediaries frequently have dual allegiances.

LFA's core offerings comprise Litigation Finance Advisory, Insurance-Backed Litigation Finance Solutions, Investor & Funder Guidance, Strategic Consulting for Law Firms & Corporations, and Secondary Market Transactions & Exit Strategies. The firm operates a structured five-step methodology (Consultation & Case Assessment, Strategy Development, Funder Selection & Bidding, Deal Structuring & Negotiation, Execution & Closing) and runs the 'All Things Litigation Funding' podcast as a thought-leadership platform. The value proposition rests on the founders' experience across all sides of the litigation finance market — as private practice litigators, in-house investors at litigation funds, deal negotiators, and advisors — with the firm claiming experience structuring nine-figure transactions across mass tort, IP, antitrust, arbitration, class action, personal injury, and commercial disputes.

LFA operates with 1–10 employees and a bespoke, quote-based engagement model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is exclusively direct and relationship-based, supported by media commentary in Bloomberg Law, Law360, and other legal/financial publications, plus industry panels and referrals. The firm is top-ranked by Chambers and Partners and is not a law firm itself (its website explicitly states it is not attorney-owned and does not provide legal advice). No revenue, funding rounds, or headcount growth data are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Therium Capital Management: Leading European and global litigation funder offering portfolio financing, single-case funding, and advisory support to law firms and claimants. Comparable to LFA on the funder and capital-advisory axis, though Therium operates its own capital rather than purely advising.
• Burford Capital: The largest publicly traded litigation finance provider globally. While primarily a funder, Burford also offers capital advisory and portfolio solutions, making it both a counterparty for LFA's funder-selection work and a broader incumbent whose advisory capability competes with LFA at the top end of the market.
• Aon (Litigation Advisory Practice): Global professional services firm with insurance and risk advisory practices that overlap with LFA's insurance-backed litigation finance solutions and broader corporate finance advisory work. Represents the kind of large incumbent that could encroach on boutique advisory mandates.
• Woodsford Litigation Funding: Global litigation finance provider offering funding and advisory to law firms, businesses, and investors. Provides portfolio monitoring, secondaries, and consulting services that overlap with LFA's secondary-market and investor-guidance offerings.

Emerging players

• LexShares: Online litigation finance marketplace connecting investors with fractional case-funding opportunities. Targets similar investor and law-firm audiences as LFA, though via a tech-enabled platform rather than bespoke advisory — making it an adjacent rather than directly competing model.
• Legalist: Tech-enabled litigation finance firm using data analytics to source and fund cases. Targets institutional investors with litigation exposure, overlapping with LFA's investor-segment offering but using a fundamentally different sourcing model.

Direct peers

• Counsel Financial: Provides funding and capital solutions to plaintiffs' law firms, including case-cost financing and portfolio lines of credit. Competes with LFA on the law-firm financing advisory axis, particularly for mass-tort and personal-injury practices.
• GLS Capital: Litigation finance firm providing funding and advisory services to law firms and claimants. Comparable boutique scale to LFA with a similar emphasis on bespoke deal structuring and secondary-market advisory.
• Harbor Litigation Funding: Boutique litigation funder and advisory serving plaintiffs and law firms in commercial and mass-tort matters. Closest in scale and positioning to LFA, with overlapping client segments and a similar emphasis on bespoke deal structuring.
• Omni Bridgeway: Major global litigation funder (formed from the merger of IMF Bentham and Omni Bridgeway). Serves overlapping client segments (law firms, claimants, investors) and offers advisory-style services alongside funding, directly overlapping with LFA's deal-structuring and investor-guidance offerings.
