About HLC

A capital allocator,
not an operator.

HLC is not a fund. It carries no external LP capital, no redemption cycles, and no vintage constraints. It is a direct-deployment vehicle that commits its own permanent balance sheet to meritorious commercial claims — governed entirely by the Investment Committee.

We do not advertise. We do not seek visibility. We operate quietly, move deliberately, and succeed only when the claimants we support succeed.

I
Direct Capital
We deploy our own balance sheet. No external investors, no fund structures, no intermediaries.
II
Permanence
Capital is not subject to redemption cycles or LP pressure. Timelines are governed by litigation — not structure.
III
Patience
Duration is a feature of this asset class, not a risk. We accept extended timelines without reservation.
IV
Alignment
Every structure is designed so that HLC's economic outcome aligns with that of the claimant — not against it.
V
Quietness
Business development is relationship-driven and referral-based. We do not seek public visibility.
Investment Mandate

What we fund.

Our mandate is limited to commercial litigation and arbitration in matters involving identifiable legal claims, represented claimants, and a credible litigation strategy.

Commercial
Breach of Contract
M&A disputes, joint venture failures, supply chain claims, and all commercial contract breaches with quantifiable damages.
Corporate
Shareholder Disputes
Minority oppression, breach of fiduciary duty, and derivative actions against directors and controlling shareholders.
Competition
Antitrust Claims
Cartel damages, abuse of dominance, and private follow-on actions arising from competition law violations.
Cross-Border
International Arbitration
ICC, LCIA, AAA/ICDR, SIAC, DIAC, and ad hoc proceedings. Patient capital built for multi-year timelines.
IP
Intellectual Property
Patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and licensing disputes across domestic and international jurisdictions.
Enforcement
Post-Judgment Recovery
Appellate finance and cross-border enforcement of judgments and arbitral awards where collectibility is credible.
Capital Products

Four authorised
structures.

HLC deploys capital through four product lines, each designed for a distinct claimant position. Return structures are defined at commitment and are not subject to renegotiation.

01
Direct Plaintiff Funding
Non-recourse capital advanced directly to a plaintiff or claimant to fund the full costs of pursuing a commercial claim. Repayment is triggered only by a recovery event.
Non-Recourse
02
Defense-Side Counterclaim
HLC finances a defendant's affirmative counterclaim as a standalone investment, entirely separate from the costs of defending the primary claim.
Standalone
03
Claim Purchase Funding
HLC advances capital to fund the acquisition of an existing legal claim from a third party. Full champerty analysis conducted prior to commitment.
Acquisition
04
Silent Partner — Liquidity Release
HLC acquires a defined economic interest (up to 49%) in a claimant's active claim in exchange for immediate liquidity. The claimant retains majority ownership and sole settlement authority.
