WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

{Our company had a very specific need involving not just financing for litigation but also for general operating capital, and we knew finding the right capital provider would be challenging. Westfleet was instrumental in helping us devise a structure that would meet the broad spectrum of our requirements, and their knowledge of the litigation finance marketplace was critical to our successful fundraising. Having that level of expertise on our side was invaluable. In fact, having been through the process, I cannot imagine trying to navigate the litigation finance market without a partner like Westfleet.”  — CEO Managing Partner, Early-stage Technology Company
{I’ve known Westfleet’s CEO, Charles Agee, in the context of litigation finance for more than a decade. I’ve worked with him on some of my cases and have always found him to be knowledgeable about the subject matter and keenly sensitive to the ethical parameters by which we as lawyers are governed. He is truly one of the few experts in his field.” — William “Tommy” Jacks Fish & Richardson
{The litigation finance market offers solutions that can be highly beneficial, but most clients are inexperienced with this market and may not always be presented with the most favorable terms. Knowing I can recommend an experienced, independent group like Westfleet Advisors is comforting because my clients rely on me to protect their interests. I want my clients to have every possible advantage in the litigation, including how they elect to finance it.” — Ronald J. Schutz Managing Partner, New York, Robins Kaplan LLP
{Working with Westfleet to structure a complex litigation funding deal involving a nine-figure, multi-law firm patent litigation campaign saved my company millions in financing costs and countless hours of wasted effort. They knew who were the right funders to approach, delivered a compelling pitch, and obtained multiple proposals for me to consider. Westfleet’s insider perspective was invaluable at every juncture.”  — CEO, Technology Licensing Company
