For Immediate Release
Litigation finance powerhouse Nera Capital has hit a major milestone, exceeding $100 million in investor repayments - solidifying its reputation as a top-performing player in the industry.
The firm’s achievement highlights its long-standing proven track record in the litigation funding market, setting it apart with a strong focus on delivering tangible returns as opposed to just funds deployed.
Since its inception in 2011, the firm, which has offices in Manchester, Dublin and The Netherlands has carved a reputation for its rigorous and disciplined investment strategy, ensuring not just funding for claimants but also consistent, risk-adjusted returns for investors.
The company has played a pivotal role in supporting a range of high-profile cases, spanning mass tort litigation, financial Mis selling, personal injury claims, and commercial disputes.
Nera’s model has consistently demonstrated an ability to generate value for investors while supporting claimants in complex legal battles.
Its financial success is directly linked to backing high-value legal claims effectively. A standout example is the firm’s involvement in a major hernia mesh claim, which comprised thousands of individual cases in the United States.
Many of these claimants suffered severe complications from defective mesh implants, including chronic pain, infections, and organ damage. Nera’s funding enabled victims to pursue justice and secure compensation, highlighting the tangible impact of litigation finance in ensuring accountability and restitution.
Director Aisling Byrne commented: “This milestone is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to both investors and claimants.
“Our ability to generate strong returns while funding impactful cases sets us apart in the industry. We are not just funding litigation; we are helping people achieve justice while ensuring our investors benefit from well-structured, high-value opportunities.”
Beyond mass tort litigation, Nera has successfully funded a diverse range of personal injury claims and commercial cartel disputes. Amongst these, it is supporting two major European anti-trust cases, with settlement values exceeding €20 billion. These cases are projected to drive record-breaking returns for Nera and its investors, marking a further significant milestone in the litigation finance market.
These cases exemplify Nera’s strategic selection of litigation investments, ensuring not only a positive impact on claimants but also robust financial returns for investors.
While many funders emphasise the amount of capital deployed, Nera differentiates itself by focusing on actual investor returns. Its approach prioritises careful case selection, risk assessment, and active case management to ensure that investments yield positive outcomes.
The company says its ability to generate strong returns stems from its data-driven approach to case selection and risk management.
Building on this success, Nera Capital is poised for further growth. With a new $75 million fund set to launch soon, the business remains committed to identifying high-value litigation opportunities that align with its proven investment framework.
Aisling concluded: “Surpassing $100 million in repayments is a testament to the firm’s disciplined investment strategy and commitment to delivering on promises. This milestone reinforces Nera’s position as a market leader that prioritises performance and reliability over mere capital allocation.
"This achievement highlights our dedication to delivering real value to our investors. We are proud of our track record and excited for the future as we continue to drive growth and set new benchmarks in the industry.”
