We share your risk — so a lack of cash never stops you from filing, fighting, or finishing a case you deserve to win.
A legal battle, backed
Strong cases die for one reason — cash.
Litigation is expensive and slow, so meritorious claims get abandoned or settled cheap. Funding flips it: a funder carries the cost and the downside, so you pursue full value without betting your own capital.
- Preserve cash for your business, not legal bills
- Negotiate from strength, not desperation
- Move the claim off your balance sheet's risk column
- Pursue full value instead of a discounted exit
Your case, backed by capital
Here's exactly what funding covers — and why there's nothing to pay unless you win.
Your litigation funding package
Capital to pursue a strong claim — with the funder carrying the downside.
- Litigation costs covered — lawyers' fees, witness fees & legal consultancy
- Non-recourse — lose the case and you owe nothing for the funded costs
- You keep final control of your case and key decisions
- Independent funders + advocates — no conflict of interest
- Clear, transparent term sheet (Litigation Funding Agreement)
- Progressive disbursement & monitoring through to outcome
Important — detailed funding disclaimer ▾
- Non-recourse, not a loan. If the case is lost, the funder bears the funded litigation costs and you owe nothing for them. Funding is repaid only from a successful recovery (settlement or award).
- Funder's return. In exchange for capital and risk, the funder receives an agreed share of the recovery on success — negotiated upfront and case-dependent (commonly ~20–30%). On a win, the funder's capital and agreed share are repaid first; the balance goes to you.
- No guarantee of funding. Every case undergoes a confidential, multi-stage evaluation of merits, quantum, documentation, recovery prospects and risk. Many cases are declined. The 15-second check is an indicative signal only — not an offer, approval, or commitment to fund.
- No guarantee of outcome. Funding does not assure success in the dispute.
- What is / isn't covered. Funders typically cover lawyers' fees, witness fees and legal consultancy. Court fees and stamp duty are generally NOT covered.
- You retain control. The agreement preserves the claimant's final decision-making power, with confidentiality and disclosure obligations.
- Lawyers cannot be funders. Under the Bar Council of India Rules, advocates cannot charge a result-contingent fee or share litigation proceeds — so your lawyer cannot fund your case.
- Legal position in India. TPLF is recognised through judicial precedent (e.g. Ram Coomar Coondoo (1876); Bar Council of India v. A.K. Balaji (2018)) and certain state CPC amendments (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh), not a single statute. Agreements remain subject to Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and may be struck down if extortionate, unconscionable or made for an improper object.
- Eligibility & role. Acceptance depends on case type, jurisdiction, party profiles and ROI thresholds. NoLegalPaisa facilitates structured evaluation and connections with independent funders; this page is informational and not legal or financial advice. Final terms are governed by the signed Litigation Funding Agreement.

Built for high-value disputes. No fluff, no fake promises — just an honest signal based on how real funders think.
We'll give you an honest, indicative signal based on claim size, dispute type, documentation and recovery prospects — the same factors real funders weigh.
How real funders look at your case
We don't fund every case — that's the point. The filter protects serious claimants and serious funders alike.
- High-value commercial / arbitration / enforcement disputes.
- Strong documents: contracts, emails, orders, financials.
- Identifiable defendant with assets or a clear enforcement path.
- Realistic claim value & cost estimates.
- Decent claim size but patchy documentation.
- Enforcement possible but needs deeper diligence.
- Complex facts, but a commercial logic exists.
- Very small claim with heavy cost expectations.
- Purely emotional / revenge-driven litigation.
- No documents, no clear defendant, no recovery story.
- Seeking a guaranteed win or guaranteed funding.
If you're in the green or amber zone, submit details and our team will run a structured evaluation.
What funding covers — and what it doesn't
No surprises. Here's exactly where the funder's capital goes.
✅ Covered by the funder
- Lawyers' fees
- Witness fees
- Legal consultancy
- Most litigation-related expenses
⛔ Not covered
- Court fees
- Stamp duty
These statutory costs remain with the claimant, separate from the funded litigation expenses.

- Share documents securely & confidentially
- Non-recourse — owe nothing if you lose
- Keep final control of your own case

An easy guide to Litigation Funding
What TPLF is, where it stands in Indian law, how the process works, and what's covered — explained simply.
What is Third-Party Litigation Funding?
Third-Party Litigation Funding (TPLF), also known as Litigation Finance, is a mechanism where an unrelated private entity (the funder) provides capital to a party (the litigant / claimant) to cover the legal costs of a dispute, in exchange for a portion of the financial recovery if the case is successful.
In short: the funder shares your risk. You get the capital to pursue a strong claim, and you only pay back from what you actually recover.
Legal Status in India — Champerty & Maintenance
The legal position on TPLF in India is not governed by a single, comprehensive statute, but is established primarily through judicial precedents and common-law principles.
A. Inapplicability of champerty & maintenance
- Historical context: The doctrines of maintenance (support of litigation by a stranger) and champerty (maintenance in return for a share of the spoils) originated in English common law, where they were traditionally illegal.
- Indian position: The Privy Council, in Ram Coomar Coondoo v. Chunder Canto Mookarjee (1876), established that the English rules against champerty and maintenance do not strictly apply to India.
- Key principle: A fair agreement to supply funds to carry on a suit, in consideration of a share of the property recovered, is not per se opposed to public policy.
Legal Status — Recognition, Lawyers & States
B. Judicial recognition & caveats
- Supreme Court's view: In cases including Bar Council of India v. A.K. Balaji (2018), the Court reaffirmed that third-party funding by non-lawyers is not prohibited in India.
- Public-policy test (Section 23, Indian Contract Act, 1872): Agreements are subject to judicial scrutiny and may be struck down if extortionate or unconscionable, or made for an improper object (e.g. gambling in litigation or fomenting vexatious suits).
C. Role of lawyers (critical restriction)
Under the Bar Council of India Rules, advocates cannot charge a fee contingent on the result or share the proceeds — so an Indian lawyer cannot act as a third-party funder for their client's case.
D. State-specific amendments
Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh have CPC amendments (e.g. Order XXV) explicitly recognising a plaintiff's right to transfer an interest in the subject matter of a suit to a financier — giving formal recognition to TPLF in those states.
The TPLF Process (Steps 1–5)
Step 1 — Enquiry & initial assessment
The claimant or lawyer approaches a funder. The funder reviews legal merit, potential recovery amount, and enforceability of the judgment or award.
Step 2 — Due diligence & risk analysis
If viable, the funder conducts deep due diligence using legal and financial experts — reviewing evidence, defence strategy and total cost estimates.
Step 3 — Funding agreement (LFA)
A detailed, non-recourse agreement is signed: funding amount & coverage, the funder's return / profit share, the non-recourse clause, control clauses keeping final power with the litigant, and confidentiality obligations.
Step 4 — Disbursement & monitoring
Funds are released progressively to cover legal expenses, and the funder monitors progress through reports and updates.
Step 5 — Outcome & settlement
If won / settled: recovery first reimburses the funder's capital and agreed share; the balance goes to the claimant. If lost: the funder bears the full loss and the claimant owes nothing.
