Hello Justice Capital 1 · Private placement
Investing in litigation funding.
Hello Justice Capital 1 is a French variable‑capital civil company that funds court proceedings in France. The fund is managed by Hello Justice SAS. It is offered as a private placement (article L. 411-2 of the French Monetary and Financial Code), from €100,000, once your eligibility has been verified. The capital invested can be lost, in part or in full.
What the fund finances.
It also funds series of similar cases, such as Swiss franc loans: each case remains individual, with its own lawyer and its own agreement.
Selection
Cases selected one by one.
Hello Justice Capital 1 funds court proceedings with up to €1m at stake, selected one by one.
The eligibility of each case is analysed by a specialised partner lawyer: the features of the dispute, the limitation period, the completeness of the documents, reasonable prospects of success. Hello Justice then reviews the amount at stake, the opposing party’s solvency, and the length and cost of the proceedings. Not every case is accepted.

Governance · article 10.2 of the articles
Who decides.
The fund’s members
They vote on every investment and every divestment concerning a major dispute, as article 10.2 of the articles of association provides.
Hello Justice SAS, the manager
It selects the cases and follows each funded case through to its conclusion.
The client’s lawyer
The lawyer runs the case. The client remains free to choose their lawyer, and Hello Justice is not a law firm.
Overlord SAS
It handles the incorporation, the administration (company secretarial work, investor information) and, where applicable, the liquidation of the fund. It provides the white‑label subscription platform.
Article 9.1.1 of the articles
The order of distributions.
Every sum distributed follows the order set by the articles of association. The thresholds and splits are in the fund documentation, provided once your eligibility has been verified.
Redemptions are locked for ten years. Distributions are paid as cases conclude.
Tier 1
Capital first.
Distributions first repay the members the capital they invested.
Tier 2
Preferred returns next.
Members then receive preferred returns, at the thresholds set by the articles of association.
Tier 3
The manager’s performance fee last.
Hello Justice SAS’s performance fee only comes after that.
This order is not a guarantee: the capital invested can be lost, in part or in full.
Third‑party data
The market.
In France, article 16 of the Act of 30 April 2025 wrote third‑party litigation funding into statute. Decree no. 2025-1191 of 10 December 2025 completes that framework.

In Europe, litigation funding accounts for 0.8% of a €125bn legal market (European Parliament, 2021).
| Company | Listing | Published figures |
|---|---|---|
| Burford Capital | New York and London | Multiple of 1.8 and IRR of 25% on cases concluded since 2009, as at 31 March 2026. At least $5m committed per case. |
| Omni Bridgeway | Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), present in 15 countries | Cumulative multiple of 2.4 on concluded cases. |
The multiple compares the sums recovered with the sums invested. The IRR, internal rate of return, expresses that return as an annual rate.
The risks.
The outcome of a case depends on the evidence, the law and the solvency of the opposing party, not on the stock market. That guarantees nothing: a case can be lost.
- Capital loss
- A case can be lost, or settled for less than expected. The capital invested can be lost, in part or in full, and nothing guarantees it.
- Recovery
- A favourable judgment brings in nothing if the losing party cannot pay, and enforcing it can take time.
- Duration and liquidity
- A case often lasts two to four years, sometimes longer. Redemptions are locked for ten years. Distributions are paid as cases conclude. There is no secondary market for the units: this investment does not suit you if you may need the money within ten years.
- Case law
- A reversal of case law can affect several cases at once, especially within a series of similar cases. The Swiss franc loan cases rely on two rulings of the Cour de cassation of 9 July 2025, recent case law, liable to change.
- Track record
- Hello Justice Capital 1 was incorporated on 15 July 2025 and does not yet have a distribution history.
