Responsible | Regulated | Resilient

Why Sandfield Capital

Choosing a litigation funding partner is a significant decision. Law firms need more than capital – they need certainty, transparency and a funder that understands both legal risk and professional responsibility.

Sandfield Capital was established to meet that need. We provide specialist litigation funding to the legal sector, combining FCA regulation, insurance-backed structures and a partnership-led approach designed to support firms at every stage of the litigation process.

Our focus is simple: to fund viable claims responsibly, manage risk intelligently and enable law firms to operate with confidence while widening access to justice.

A regulated approach you can trust

Regulation is not an afterthought at Sandfield Capital – it is fundamental to how we operate.

As an FCA-regulated firm, we work within a robust governance framework that promotes transparency, accountability and high standards of conduct. For law firms, this provides reassurance that funding arrangements are structured responsibly and managed with appropriate oversight.

Our regulated status helps ensure:

Clear and transparent funding terms

Strong governance and compliance standards

Responsible risk assessment and decision-making

Alignment with professional obligations and client interests

In a sector where regulation is increasingly important, Sandfield’s FCA authorisation provides an additional layer of confidence for firms, funders and professional stakeholders alike.

Responsible | Regulated | Resilient

Our model incorporates an ATE and Deed of Indemnity insurance wrapper, designed to provide comfort and protection for law firms and funding partners throughout the lifecycle of a case. This structure supports resilience, predictability and responsible risk-sharing – particularly in complex or high-volume litigation.

We work with a rated insurer, strengthening confidence in the durability and reliability of our funding arrangements. This is especially valuable where firms are managing large portfolios, funding disbursements across multiple matters, or pursuing claims that require significant upfront investment.

Insurance-backed funding helps:

  • Reduce exposure to adverse outcomes
  • Support long-term funding stability
  • Provide additional reassurance to firms and stakeholders
  • Enable more predictable financial planning

We support:

  • Single-case funding, where targeted capital is required
  • Disbursement funding, to manage upfront evidential and procedural costs
  • Portfolio and volume-based funding, enabling firms to scale efficiently across multiple aligned claims

Our funding structures are built to be scalable, supporting firms as they grow their caseloads or expand into new areas of litigation. We take a collaborative approach to structuring funding, ensuring it aligns with the firm’s operational realities and strategic objectives.

Sandfield Capital operates a bespoke technology-driven assessment model that supports consistent, data-informed evaluation of case viability. This enables us to assess funding opportunities with greater speed and precision, while maintaining a disciplined and responsible approach to risk.

For law firms, this means:

  • Faster, clearer funding decisions
  • Consistent assessment across portfolios
  • Reduced administrative friction
  • A streamlined funding process

Technology supports our decision-making – but it does not replace human judgment. Every case is assessed with appropriate legal and commercial insight.

We understand:

  • The cost pressures created by disbursements and expert evidence
  • The challenges of managing high-volume or group litigation
  • The importance of protecting client relationships and professional reputation
  • The need for clarity, responsiveness and reliability from funding partners

Our expertise enables us to take a strategic view of risk, supporting firms not just with capital, but with informed, commercially aware funding decisions.

Sandfield Capital acts as a strategic collaborator – not a distant financier. We take the time to understand each firm’s practice, priorities and pressures, and we work closely with our partners throughout the funding relationship.

Law firms benefit from:

  • Clear, consistent communication
  • Straightforward and transparent terms
  • Commercially informed decision-making
  • A responsive, accessible team

We aim to make funding a supportive enabler – not a source of complexity or distraction.

We fund claims with clear legal grounds, assessed carefully and ethically. Our approach is designed to promote fair access to justice while ensuring funding decisions are sustainable, proportionate and aligned with professional standards.

We believe responsible litigation funding:

  • Helps ensure viable claims are not abandoned due to cost
  • Supports law firms in acting in their clients’ best interests
  • Promotes accountability and fairness
  • Strengthens confidence in the legal system

This commitment aligns directly with our mission.
