Litigation funding · France⁠

Your dispute is an asset. We fund it.

Hello Justice is the first French company dedicated to mid‑market litigation funding, from €100,000 at stake. In civil and commercial disputes, we pay your lawyer’s fees. Our commission, set before any commitment, is taken from the sums recovered, and only if you win.

What we fund.

The online spaces.

Hello Justice builds its platform in Lyon. The client, their lawyer and the fund investor each have their own secure space on it.

Individuals and businesses

You have a dispute.

The free eligibility test shows in six questions whether a dispute meets our funding criteria. Every funded case has a secure space: documents received, stages of the proceedings, exchanges with the lawyer.

The stages of funding.

The steps in detail

  1. Step 1

    Free

    You test your eligibility.

    You answer six questions about your dispute, then leave your details to see the result.

  2. Step 2

    Free

    You submit your case.

    A specialised partner lawyer analyses its eligibility: the features of the dispute, the limitation period (the time limit for bringing a claim), the completeness of the documents and reasonable prospects of success. Not every case is accepted.

  3. Step 3

    Flat fee

    We analyse the case.

    We review the amount at stake, the other side’s solvency, and the length and cost of the proceedings. You receive a written report and a funding opinion.

  4. Step 4

    On success

    Hello Justice funds the proceedings.

    You sign an agreement with your lawyer and Hello Justice. It sets the fees we pay and our commission, and your lawyer then conducts the proceedings.

Funding for your case.

Hello Justice funds your lawyer’s fees and is paid only if the case succeeds. Your remaining costs depend on the type of dispute.

Litigation detection.

Vigie™, Hello Justice’s proprietary litigation detection algorithm, reads published court decisions and spots the disputes that recur.

  • The monitoring console.

    Each monitor queries published rulings and regulators’ sanctions. When the same legal question keeps coming back, it points to a possible series.

  • Public sources.

    Vigie reads Judilibre, Légifrance, the BODACC and the publications of the French Competition Authority, the CNIL, the AMF, the ACPR and the DGCCRF.

  • Series of disputes.

    Vigie evaluates series of disputes: no individual litigant is scored.

  • Pseudonymised individuals.

    Individuals remain pseudonymised. Hello Justice never tries to identify them.

  • An algorithm built and owned by Hello Justice.

The founding team.

Valentin PETITCLERC founded Hello Justice in Lyon in 2024 with Vincent DURAND, a member of the Lyon Bar since 1996, and Pauline ANDRIEU, an international tax lawyer since 2015. Hello Justice is not a law firm: each case is conducted by the client’s lawyer.

“There is a gap between the rights the law recognises and those people actually manage to enforce.”
