Profile Investment

What Profile Investment does

Profile Investment is a privately held Paris-based commercial disputes specialist, founded in 2018 as a Société par Actions Simplifiée with €100,000 of share capital and a second London office at 1 Paternoster Lane inside the International Disputes Resolution Centre. The firm targets four interlocking customer segments — companies engaged in international commercial disputes, law firms, funds/investors, and award or judgment holders — and delivers an integrated suite of services across four product pillars: project financing facilities (capped at $5 million or 10% of project value, with a $500k minimum for smaller claims and a $50M minimum claim valuation for the maximum facility), monetization of early judgments and awards (up to $15M with upfront, catchup and pari passu structures), neutral consultant dispute valuation using a proprietary monetary-value methodology, and equity/membership investments in arbitration support infrastructure including hearing venues and translation/transcription providers. The firm differentiates its financing through a pure project-finance architecture that deliberately avoids becoming a 'third party' to the dispute, preserving confidentiality and procedural integrity. Underlying operations are supported by a cross-disciplinary Investment Committee of lawyers, enforcement and quantum specialists qualified in multiple jurisdictions, with regulated fund operations in Luxembourg under CSSF oversight using IQEQ as AIFM, Arendt as legal counsel and HACA Partners as auditor. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct inquiry, with no public pricing beyond the published financing and monetization caps; the marketing footprint is limited to a corporate website, a curated news page linking to arbitration industry resources, and community engagement including pro bono work and academic participation.
