CHANGING THE EQUATION

WHEN brings to public-interest litigation what litigation finance brings to commercially viable cases: strategic capital to develop, advance, and sustain legal action.

The Ecosystem

An interconnected approach to closing the Accountability Gap—the distance between harm done and justice served.

Capital

We raise and deploy philanthropic capital to address critical funding gaps in public-interest litigation, providing timely support for legal action and creating opportunities to recycle recovered funds into future cases.

Legal Action

We develop innovative legal strategies and support experienced legal teams in advancing high-impact cases that hold corporations accountable, create meaningful consequences, and change the economics of harm.

Movement-Building

Through storytelling and events, we make complex legal issues accessible, bring greater visibility to corporate harm, and invite more people to participate in advancing accountability.
