Aurora Capital Partners’ Post

Many founders credit their success to curiosity and grit, but let’s not overlook discipline. It’s the trait that keeps you on track when shiny opportunities come knocking. Andy Cabasso and his partner knew this well. By focusing solely on law firms and prioritizing recurring revenue, they built JurisPage into a desirable acquisition target. The result? A seven-figure exit to Uptime Legal.

Why consider litigation funding as part of your investment portfolio? 📈 Steady Returns: Historically, litigation funding has generated stable returns per annum, significantly outperforming traditional asset classes. 💼 Risk Mitigation: Investments have various security measures, including After-the-Event (ATE) insurance, covering costs if a case is unsuccessful, and ensuring capital protection. 📊 Portfolio Diversification: Litigation funding investments spread capital across multiple claims, law firms, and case types, minimising risk and enhancing portfolio diversification. 🔓 Accessibility: Lower investment entry points in small-ticket cases compared to larger litigation funders make it an accessible investment option for investors. 🌐 Uncorrelated: Litigation funding is largely uncorrelated with traditional markets, providing stability and resilience against economic volatility.

A host of Big Law firms worked on the deals, but Latham & Watkins landed on several of the biggest deals in the last half of December. Latham advised BC Partners; DAZN Group Limited; and New Enterprise Associates, among others, in deals worth more than $1 billion or more in the last two weeks of the year. Overall, for the period between Dec. 16, 2024 and Thursday, Law.com Radar counted at least seven announced M&A deals valued at more than $1 billion, including a $14 billion megadeal led by Debevoise & Plimpton and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. In addition, there was at least one new SPAC, two SPAC mergers, four new IPOs and 11 new debt issuances over $500 million. With the full 2024 legal league tables coming out soon, we will get a clearer picture of which law firms capitalized on a bounceback year for dealmaking after close to two years of ho-hum activity. While a number of factors drove that lull, high interest rates were a main culprit. As those went down over the past year as inflation continued to cool, deal flow picked back up. But while steady rate declines look to continue through 2025, the global geopolitical environment has now become so murky that it has crept back into the main factors that could stifle economic growth and the deals that come from it.
