Westbrooke Associates Unveils a Highly Sought-After Investment With Capital Protection

By John Freund |

Westbrooke Associates, the official agent for prominent and proven track record investments, is thrilled to announce its latest portfolio prospect.

Providing a broad spectrum of options for those seeking attractive returns, Westbrooke Associates is inviting professional investors to invest in an opportunity that offers generous pro-rata returns with capital protection. Showcasing a groundbreaking investment realm in a venture that goes beyond the ordinary, Westbrooke Associates is working in conjunction with KWS Litigation (a trading style of KWS Law) presenting an extraordinary opportunity in British litigation funding.

Litigation funding, also known as legal financing or third-party funding, allows investors to support legal cases without the financial burden for claimants. Enabling litigation to pave the way for justice, this opportunity opens up an intelligent avenue for diversifying investment portfolios, providing a powerful tool to level the playing field.

Recent market research highlights how the global litigation funding investment market has demonstrated substantial growth potential, valuing the market at approximately $12.2 billion in 2021 and anticipating it to surge to an impressive $25.8 billion by 2030.

Following a landmark judicial review, KWS Litigation offers access to both justice and financial growth by inviting individual investors to finance mis-selling loan agreement legal cases and business energy contracts. Meeting the demands of a disruptive and evolving industry, KWS Litigation–a trading style of KWS Law Limited, operates as an Alternative Business Structure, providing choice, innovation and transparency.

Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA: 830165), KWS Litigation is a client-centric law firm focused on identifying legitimate litigation claims. Their mission is to rectify courtroom disparities between individuals and large corporations.

The stringent claimant selection process is also a testament to the firm’s commitment to excellence. In a symbiotic relationship that benefits mutual clients, the Claims Management firm, Addlington-West Group, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN:838665), collaborates with KWS Litigation as an Introducer of Clients.

Leveraging this partnership, Addlington-West Group has access to a pool of legitimate and meritorious prospects actively seeking funding and assistance in pursuing claims of financial mis-selling. Coupled with legal opinions from independent barristers confirming the highest likelihood of a successful outcome, each investment benefits from legal expertise, case due diligence and streamlined process management.

Holding the promise of significantly larger returns compared to traditional alternative asset classes and in stark contrast to the extended timelines associated with typical private equity deals, this opportunity presents a return in approximately 12 months. Moreover, this unique and potent avenue stands independently from conventional financial markets, market fluctuations and volatility.

Safeguarding the investor journey at every turn, upon completion of each successful case, the investor receives the principal amount and exceptionally high pro-rata returns. Even in the unlikely event of an unsuccessful case, the principal amount is secured via an insurance bond, offering unparalleled protection.

Additionally, investor flexibility means the option to reinvest at any stage, providing each investor with the autonomy to navigate their investment with confidence. Throughout the process, KWS Litigation meticulously adheres to litigation and consumer protection regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance and transparency at every step.

Discussing the new opportunity, Company Director for Addlington-West Group Magaret Bladon says:

“I envision a future marked by even greater success and positive transformations. Our commitment to excellence, coupled with our unwavering dedication to client satisfaction, positions us as industry pioneers. I predict a future where our innovative approaches and client-centric strategies will continue to redefine the landscape. Together, we are poised for a journey of unparalleled success, achieving new milestones and setting industry standards for years to come.”

Neil Davis-Berkeley, Managing Director for KWS Law says:

“We believe in providing individuals with a voice, especially those who have been marginalised or faced injustices. Litigation funding ensures everyone, regardless of financial means, has access to justice and aligns with our goals for fairness, transparency and the right to seek restitution. Our commitment is unwavering – to bridge the gap between individuals and powerful entities, championing a legal system where justice is accessible to all.”

Westbrooke Associates facilitates strategic sector engagement, allowing investors to align their interests with industries they are passionate about, from promoting sustainability and social impact to embracing technological innovations. As seasoned and strategic players, this opportunity boasts a robust track record, specialised expertise and a meticulous approach, positioning it as a formidable choice for qualifying investors.
