How litigation funding works
Three steps from claim to funded case.
Submit your claim
Tell us what happened through our secure claim review form. It takes about 2 minutes.
We review it
We look at your documents, claim strength, the state, and whether the other side can pay. We aim to respond within 24–48 business hours.
Attorney plus funding
If your claim fits, we may offer funding under a written agreement. An attorney from our network, or your current attorney where it fits, handles the case.
Why Darkwell
Litigation funding built around your claim, not your bank account.
01
Attorneys we know
Darkwell has a network of attorneys we know. If you already have counsel, we can work with your current attorney where it fits. Your attorney runs the case, not us.

We carry the costs
Funding can cover what stops good claims from moving:
- Attorney retainers
- Court and filing fees
- Expert witnesses
- Litigation through judgment
03
Non-recourse funding

- Commercial claims: focus on $100,000+
