About
Independent insight into contingent-fee legal assets.
JurRisk delivers fact-driven, materially relevant insight into the law firms, attorneys, litigations, and plaintiff populations that make up contingent-fee legal assets, so lenders and investors can make informed credit decisions without spending hundreds of hours inside case-level material that resists comparison. The plaintiff bar has never produced a standard intake, because every firm competes with every other. JurRisk builds the streamlined, repeatable diligence process the asset class has lacked.
JurRisk does not lend, does not fund litigation, and does not make credit decisions. Alongside diligence and surveillance, we originate: sourcing and screening borrower firms against a lender's stated criteria and building the pipeline that keeps qualified dealflow coming. Where JurRisk originates a transaction, that role is disclosed to the lender in writing at the outset.
