Therium Access, Therium’s not for profit arm, has been shortlisted at The Lawyer Awards 2023 in the Pro Bono Initiative of the Year category.
The Lawyer Awards celebrate the very best in the legal industry over the past year. In particular, the pro bono category recognises innovative thinking and measurable outcomes that generate significant change.
Therium Access has a meaningful and impactful grant programme that provides not-for-profit funding for organisations and cases that seek to improve access to justice. The claimants cannot afford to bring their cases on their own and do not qualify for other sources of funding such as Legal Aid, so without Therium Access, these important cases would not be brought.

Therium Chief Investment Officer Neil Purslow sat down with The Lawyer to discuss how funders are broadening their offering away from single case funding towards new areas of law firm financing.
Neil explains that funders’ interest in the legal sector is rising as a result of the emergence of new financing models that offer greater flexibility over pricing and structures for law firms to obtain litigation loans.
As law firms become less conservative and an increasing number of senior partners are breaking out of big law firms to set up on their own, the demand for law firm funding continues to grow.

In an interview with City AM, Therium CIO Neil Purslow talks about what is driving investment interest in legal finance in this economic climate. He explained that investors continue to see litigation funding as an asset class that delivers returns that are not linked to the wider economy.
Neil outlined a number of opportunities that could arise as a result of the economic downturn, including a rise in commercial litigation finance and increased interest from corporate clients as they seek to reduce their legal spending by turning to litigation funders. The piece also highlights how ESG-related litigation will further bolster the industry. “A lot of the cases litigation funders are backing touch on an ESG theme,” Neil said. “ESG is everywhere.”

Therium’s not for profit initiative Therium Access has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Halsbury Rule of Law Award at the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2023. This award recognises organisations that demonstrate a sustained contribution to upholding the rule of law and celebrates a commitment to the spread of fair and ordered government, law and justice.
Therium Access is the litigation funding industry’s first not-for-profit vehicle, which provides legal funding by way of grants for claims, organisations and projects that promote access to justice for the most vulnerable and marginalised in society. These organisations cannot be funded on a commercial basis, so without Therium Access, many of these organisations would not be able to access the crucial funding they need in order to continue to provide free legal advice or support to pursue justice.
