The Intelligence Layer for Litigation Capital

We decline
most cases.
That is
the point.

Orvyn operates as the independent intelligence layer between legal claims and institutional capital. We determine what is fundable, collectable, and investable — before capital is exposed. Six offices. 160+ jurisdictions. Former Burford Capital, Kirkland & Ellis, Omni Bridgeway, and Goldman Sachs.

We do not practice law.
We do not deploy capital.
We do not broker transactions.
Core Distinction
A claim can be legally strong and still fail every capital test. Orvyn exists to identify that distinction with institutional rigour — before any funder is exposed to the risk.

Why Orvyn Exists
Most capital loss in litigation finance occurs after deployment. Not before it.

The market routinely overweights legal merit and damages models while underweighting the operational reality of recovery, jurisdictional friction, and duration. Funders lose money not because the law was wrong — but because enforcement failed, the counterparty was judgment-proof, or the timeline destroyed the IRR.

Orvyn addresses that gap through disciplined validation, enforcement-led analysis, and dossier construction designed for Investment Committee scrutiny rather than promotional optimism.

Principle 01
Independent Validation
We determine whether a claim is fundable, collectable, and institutionally viable — not merely arguable. Our conclusions do not change based on who is asking.
Principle 02
Enforcement-First Underwriting
We focus on the variable most often mispriced in litigation finance: enforcement probability across jurisdictions. This is where most underwriting errors occur.
Principle 03
Institutional Discipline
We decline most matters. That discipline is what makes the matters we do advance credible to funders and serious to counterparties. Selectivity is governance — not branding.

Critical Variable
Enforcement is where most underwriting errors occur.

We assess asset visibility, jurisdictional infrastructure, sovereign immunity risk, counterparty solvency, recognition pathways under the New York Convention, and cross-border enforcement friction. This is the distinction between a theoretical win and a collectable outcome.

Enforcement Probability carries equal weight to Legal Merit — deliberately. Funders who have lost money in litigation finance lost it most frequently through enforcement failure, not legal merit failure.
