A disciplined underwriting review that tells you whether the risk has been priced in a form capital can trust.
Snyder applies the capital allocator's discipline to the litigator's understanding of the case — mapping proof, modeling damages, verifying collectability, and delivering a decision-ready underwriting file.
Sophisticated family offices are evaluating litigation as an investable asset class.
The challenge is not finding litigation opportunities — it is knowing which ones to trust. Litigation finance depends on analysis that is simultaneously rigorous on the law, honest on the facts, and financially disciplined on the risk.
Most litigation finance decisions are made by people who are either capital allocators or litigators — but not both. The result is systematic mispricing: overconfident legal assessments that discount capital risk, or financially disciplined models built on legal assumptions no experienced litigator would accept.
Five layers of risk. Each must be assessed and priced independently.
All figures illustrative. The framework is applied to every matter we assess.
Four disciplines. Applied simultaneously.
The person who underwrites the case has tried cases like it.
Snyder underwrites litigation risk from the position of a first-chair trial lawyer who understands what juries do and what opposing counsel will actually mount. That is a different analysis than one produced by a capital allocator working from a legal summary.

Engagements begin with a private triage conversation.
We evaluate whether the opportunity is one that warrants a full underwriting review. That conversation is confidential and without commitment. If we proceed, the full assessment is delivered within 10 to 15 business days.
We represent both sides of this market: family offices evaluating opportunities, and litigants or counsel preparing a matter for capital review.
Costs Nothing.
We engage family offices and sophisticated investors evaluating litigation opportunities, and litigants or counsel seeking to prepare a matter for capital review. Briefly describe the opportunity and where it currently stands. Do not send privileged or confidential information.
