At Eastern, we believe litigation finance can be a powerful force for justice – for both consumer and commercial plaintiffs. Capital deployed thoughtfully in this space not only offers the potential for strong, uncorrelated returns, but also plays a crucial role in promoting access to justice and addressing long-standing inefficiencies in the legal system. Our responsible investing philosophy is rooted in disciplined underwriting, rigorous structuring, and a commitment to funding that supports fair and efficient outcomes across the litigation landscape.
Values & Impact

Expanding Access to Justice
The U.S. civil justice system can be prohibitively slow and expensive, particularly for individual plaintiffs. Eastern provides financial support to claimants so they can navigate the duration of litigation without succumbing to early, pressured settlements. This funding empowers individuals, many of whom may lack the resources to withstand drawn-out legal processes, to pursue fair and just outcomes. By alleviating financial stress, our investments promote a more equitable legal system and help level the playing field for those most in need of representation.
Supporting Medical Access and Outcomes
Timely access to medical care is essential for injury claimants, but treatment delays and upfront costs often create barriers to care. Eastern enables injured plaintiffs to receive necessary treatment without the burden of immediate payment. By facilitating medical access and reducing delays in both care and case resolution, we help improve outcomes for claimants while supporting the broader healthcare infrastructure that serves the personal injury legal space.
Strengthening Legal Representation
Legal matters often require significant upfront capital to support case development, expert analysis, and long litigation timelines. Eastern provides flexible and bespoke capital solutions to entities across the legal ecosystem, including law firms, case aggregators, plaintiffs, and other service providers. Our financing helps bridge capital gaps, enhance operational flexibility, and unlock growth opportunities for stakeholders pursuing complex, high-impact litigation. By addressing structural inefficiencies in legal funding, we help expand access to representation and facilitate the resolution of cases that may otherwise be under-resourced or delayed.
