Claim Monetization

Monetize and enforce your intellectual property through an asset sale to Certum.

How We Help

Certum monetizes pending claims, judgments, and awards into immediate revenue. We advance a portion of the expected recovery, providing cash now without waiting for litigation outcomes—eliminating financial and outcome uncertainty while freeing resources to reinvest in the business.


Our solutions help companies manage duration risk in long-running litigation or arbitrations, access capital when market conditions favor deployment elsewhere, and remove litigation uncertainty from financial planning. For corporates preparing for fundraising or M&A, claim monetization ensures fair value for legal assets that investors or acquirers might otherwise overlook.


For qualifying cases, monetizations can be structured to flow through a company’s balance sheet as ongoing revenue recognition rather than a one-time recovery. Certum’s approach leverages deep litigation expertise and funding efficiencies to maximize recoveries, reduce risk, and create upside potential—turning legal assets into financial performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of cases does Certum monetize?

    We typically monetize high-value commercial, patent, antitrust and international arbitration claims, as well as judgments or awards pending enforcement or appeal. Cases should have strong merits, clear damages, and experienced counsel.

  • Does Certum take control of the case?

    No. Our investments are passive and non-recourse. The client and counsel retain full control over litigation strategy, settlement decisions, and case management.

  • How are monetizations reflected on the company’s balance sheet?

    For qualifying transactions, monetizations can be structured to allow ongoing revenue recognition rather than a one-time settlement, creating flexibility in financial reporting and balance-sheet management.
