Our take
Legalist was founded to empower small and medium-sized businesses to access justice usually available only to the largest companies. It does this by investing in meritorious lawsuits - leveraging legal knowledge, tech and data to do so.
The company uses data from millions of court records to power its investment, vetting meritorious legal cases for investment based on the likelihood of winning. This takes into account factors such as the judge, lawyers, court type, and other details. Through this approach, the firm is able to generate returns for its clients while also providing capital to the lawyers and plaintiffs who need it most.
The company now manages over $900 million in assets, developed from $10 million back in 2017. Due to a surge in demand, the company expects to continue accelerating its year-on-year growth - enabling it to further carve out a strong presence in the alternative assets market.
