Loopa Finance raises $70m for litigation in Latin America, Europe

With this new vehicle, Loopa has raised over $100 million since its founding, resources entirely dedicated to investing in meritorious cases in key jurisdictions on both continents.

The new fund will enable Loopa to deepen its growth strategy, expand its investment capacity in complex litigation and arbitration cases, and accelerate its geographic expansion, focusing on strategic markets in continental Europe and Latin America, where demand for alternative financing solutions continues to grow.

According to Fernando Folgueiro, Loopa’s co-founder and managing partner, "This third fund marks a turning point for Loopa from a legal business perspective. It allows us to support more lawyers, firms, and clients in complex litigation and arbitration, with increasingly sophisticated analysis of legal merit and procedural risk”.

“Having raised over $100 million also reflects the maturity of the litigation financing market in Europe and Latin America and the consolidation of this tool within the legal ecosystem," he added.

Loopa is the first tech investment fund specializing in litigation financing in Latin America and continental Europe, offering capital to cover legal costs or monetize ongoing claims, without interfering in the legal strategy or the conduct of the case.

Loopa’s model is based on assuming the financial risk of litigation and recovering its investment only in the event of success, with agile analysis processes, high standards of transparency, and a structure aligned with the interests of clients and attorneys. The firm invests in a wide variety of disputes, including commercial and investment arbitration, contractual disputes, corporate lawsuits, insolvencies, intellectual property, litigation against the state, and environmental claims, among others.

For Yago Zavalia Gahan, co-founder and managing partner, “this new fund strengthens our ability to structure litigation as a financial asset, with increasingly efficient, traceable, and scalable processes. The confidence of our investors validates Loopa's model and allows us to continue investing in technology and team to accompany the growth of the market on both continents”.

Since its founding in 2020, Loopa has accompanied the maturation of the litigation finance market in Europe and Latin America, progressively expanding its investment capacity, geographic presence, and network of strategic allies in the legal and arbitration ecosystem.

The closing of this third fund strengthens its presence in multiple jurisdictions, backed by an interdisciplinary team with legal, financial, and technological expertise, and by a growing network of institutional partners, law firms, and industry organizations. Investor support

The third fund was backed by institutional and private investors from both Europe and the Americas who had already accompanied Loopa in previous vehicles, as well as new strategic investors interested in the growth of the litigation financing market.

This combination of experienced capital and new profiles reinforces the firm's investment thesis and its long-term approach, the firm said.
