Litigation finance firm secures £600m facility to drive further expansion

Sandfield Capital, the Liverpool-based litigation finance company, has sealed a £600m facility from Perspective Investments for use over the next three to five years.
The facility is conditional on suitable claims for funding being identified and will enable Sandfield to expand its legal panel and the range of claims it handles. It follows three fundraises for Sandfield in the past 12 months totalling £30.5m.
Sandfield, which provides loans to individuals and law firms pursuing legal claims, was founded in 2020 and has offices in Liverpool and London.
It works with claimants and legal firms to cover the ever-increasing costs of litigation through a disbursement loan, which is repaid from the settlement if the case is won. Sandfield says it is helping to democratise access to justice enabling many more people to bring their case to court.
Securing a new location for its Liverpool operations centre, together with a recruitment drive for new staff, are key objectives for the first half of 2025.
Sandfield handles claims for housing disrepair, military deafness, mortgage and interest miscalculation and undisclosed commissions. It is currently considering bank fraud, business energy, motor finance, and tenancy deposit claims to widen its portfolio.
CEO, Steven D’Ambrosio, said: “This new facility presents significant opportunities for Sandfield and is testament to our business model. Key to our strategy to deploy the facility is expanding our legal panel.
“There’s no shortage of quality law firms specialising in this area and we are keen to develop further strong and symbiotic relationships. Perspective Investments see the considerable opportunities and bring a wealth of experience in institutional investment with a strong track record.”
Arno Kitts, founder and Chief Investment Officer of Perspective Investments, said: “Sandfield Capital’s business model includes a bespoke lending platform with the ability to integrate seamlessly with law firms’ systems to ensure compliance with regulatory and underwriting standards.
“This technology enables claims to be processed rapidly whilst all loans are fully insured so that if a claim is unsuccessful, the individual claimant has nothing to pay.
“This is an excellent investment proposition for Perspective Investments and we are looking forward to working with the management team who have a track record of continuously evolving the business to meet growing client needs.”
