The intake
Banks and funds cannot move to a term sheet without the full request list: entity documents, three years of firm financials, the complete case inventory, lien searches, and the facility mechanics behind all of it. JurRisk ingests the entire submission, verifies it against independent sources, and distills it to the figures that decide the credit.
8 categories · 64 individual requests · 39 pp. out
The translation
The request list alone runs to sixty-four items: three years of financial statements, firm and personal tax returns, case-level detail across the docket, good-standing certificates, signed client retainers, status reports. No two firms answer it the same way: each organizes its case and financial data to its own convention, so every submission arrives in its own formats, through its own channels, on its own calendar.
Collection is only the beginning. Bankers, private equity professionals, and specialty lenders must still get up to speed on the complex layers of litigation, sectors that take years to fully comprehend. JurRisk's Senior Underwriters are attorneys who spent decades inside firms operating on contingent-fee revenue. They read the law so the credit committee reads four lenses.
The requests are standard. The submissions never are. The drift is where deals are lost.
Method. Underwriting is performed exclusively by attorneys with decades inside contingent-fee practice. The four lenses are what a credit decision turns on.
The function
Capital allocators in every mature asset class rely on independent valuation: appraisers in real estate, rating agencies in structured credit, third-party marks in mortgage servicing. Capital exposed to contingency-fee legal assets has had no equivalent. Values are typically set by the firm's own case estimates or the investor's internal judgment, and neither withstands scrutiny from examiners, LPs, or auditors.
