International Commercial Arbitration Funding

The Case

Therium helped assemble and then funded the legal team that enabled a European machinery distributor’s overwhelming victory against a US manufacturer in an international arbitration concerning a breach of the parties’ distribution agreement.  The manufacturer’s egregious misconduct had destroyed the distributor’s business and rendered it penniless, such that Therium’s funding was the only way the distributor could pursue its rightful remedy.  This investment exemplifies how Therium’s capital can level the playing field and provide access to justice.
