Who We Work With

Shaping the future of litigation risk management

As strategic partners, we deliver decisive, end-to-end litigation solutions that replace uncertainty with confidence and clarity. Trusted by industry leaders worldwide, including:

Corporate Counsel & Executive Leadership

Certum delivers comprehensive litigation finance and risk-transfer solutions that unlock value from affirmative claims and protect organizations from litigation exposure. We advance capital against expected recoveries in ongoing affirmative litigation through our monetization services, while providing innovative insurance products for defensive matters. Our solutions transform the GC’s office from cost center to profit center and help CFOs unlock hidden value overlooked by traditional equity and debt investors.

Insurance Brokers

Certum works with insurance brokers and their clients to provide comprehensive solutions that resolve complex litigation and risk challenges. This includes companies defending against lawsuits and looking to transfer risk as well as organizations aiming to minimize risk or monetize affirmative assets. Offerings include Class Action Settlement Insurance (CASI).

Private Equity

Certum partners with private equity firms and their portfolio companies to mitigate litigation risk, facilitate M&A and financing transactions, and source monetization opportunities by identifying assets within portfolios. Through customized solutions like Class Action Settlement Insurance (CASI), we empower private equity firms to mitigate, cap, and transfer the financial risk of settlement in existing class action litigation.

Plaintiff Litigation Practices

Certum works with all manner of litigation practices, whether at full-service AmLaw 100 firms, trial boutiques, and everything in between to share the risk of pursuing high-value contingency matters or otherwise help firms build or expand their contingency practices. Our flexible financing solutions range from expense-only funding to significant coverage of fees and expenses, enabling firms to take on larger cases, pursue more complex litigation, and manage cash flows while maximizing recovery potential for their clients.

Defense Counsel

Certum partners with defense counsel and their clients to design innovative and efficient settlement structures and risk-transfer solutions that provide financial certainty to achieve both financial and legal objectives. Through market-leading quantitative analysis and custom offerings like Class Action Settlement Insurance (CASI), we empower companies to ring-fence exposure, transfer financial risk in full, and proceed with confidence.

Mediators

Armed with decades of class action expertise, Certum partners with mediators to design efficient settlement solutions that satisfy class counsel while meeting the financial and legal objectives of the company. Through tools like Class Action Settlement Insurance (CASI), we provide mediators with the cost certainty and confidence to achieve swift, mutually-acceptable resolutions. 

In the words of Mediator Rodney Max, “the financial drain from continued litigation and the uncertain impact of settlement all change when Certum Group is part of the process. Its sophisticated team solves business risks, provides certainty and makes settlements achievable when it would have been impossible otherwise.”

Investors

Certum supports credit funds, banks, and other asset managers investing in litigation assets seeking expert assistance to underwrite and manage their litigation investments. We provide comprehensive due diligence, underwriting, monitoring, valuation, and management services for ongoing litigation investments in law firm portfolios or other baskets of claims. Our deep legal expertise and quantitative analysis capabilities enable institutional investors to make informed decisions and optimize returns from litigation finance investments.

With Certum’s financing, small businesses can hire the first-class legal counsel their claims deserve. We also provide non-recourse working capital, allowing businesses to hire new workers, invest in research and development, and rebuild their companies while litigation is pending.
