Why Legal Costs Should No Longer Decide the Fate of Strong Commercial Claims

VIENNA - May 19, 2026 - PRLog -- Legal costs are becoming a decisive factor in commercial disputes across Europe and EMEA. For many companies, the question is no longer whether a claim has merit. The question is whether the claimant can afford to pursue it through a long, expensive, and uncertain legal process.

Avyana, a litigation funding firm operating across Europe and EMEA, sees this as one of the central problems in modern dispute resolution. The company finances commercial litigation, international arbitration, and post-insolvency claims on a non-recourse basis, with funding commitments ranging from €250,000 to €25 million per matter.

According to Avyana, many legitimate commercial claims remain unfunded not because they are weak, but because litigation is expensive, slow, and uncertain. This creates a structural imbalance. Counterparties with deeper financial resources can often outlast claimants with stronger legal arguments.

"Legal costs should not decide the fate of a strong claim," said a spokesperson for Avyana. "A valid commercial dispute should be assessed on its legal merits, enforceability, and recovery potential, not only on the claimant's available cash."

Litigation funding addresses this imbalance by allowing claimants to pursue legal claims without carrying the full financial burden themselves. Under Avyana's model, the company absorbs the legal cost and shares in the recovery if the case succeeds. If the case fails, the claimant owes Avyana nothing.

This model is relevant for mid-market companies, insolvency administrators, law firms, corporates, family offices, and claimants that hold strong commercial claims but do not want to tie up working capital in multi-year litigation. For many businesses, even a strong claim becomes unattractive if it consumes liquidity, management attention, and balance-sheet capacity.

Avyana funds commercial litigation, international arbitration, insolvency claims, and portfolio funding. These include breach of contract disputes, M&A claims, shareholder conflicts, joint-venture disputes, fraud and asset recovery, director liability claims, avoidance actions, D&O claims, and funding facilities for parties managing multiple matters.

The company also supports international arbitration, including ICC, LCIA, SCC, DIS, VIAC, investment treaty arbitration, and ad hoc proceedings. Award enforcement is also part of Avyana's funding scope, which matters in cross-border disputes where winning the case is only one part of the process.

Avyana reviews cases based on legal merits, claim value, counterparty quality, enforceability, and the strength of the case team. The company states that it can move from first contact to capital deployment in around four weeks after receiving the full case file.

The broader importance of litigation funding lies in its ability to separate legal merit from financial capacity. A company with a valid claim should not be forced to abandon recovery because the cost of litigation is too high.
