About
Signal Peak Partners
Signal Peak is founded by two trial lawyers for trial lawyers. Both founders are included in Lawdragon's Global 100 Leaders in Litigation Finance. The firm is built upon core values of honesty, alignment of interests, speed, and creativity.
Applying those values, Signal Peak Partners creates investment structures designed to seek results that are beneficial for our clients and investors. We invest in our clients' claims because we believe they are meritorious, and we structure investments that incentivize clients and lawyers to obtain results that benefit all aligned parties. If you choose to do business with us, you always maintain control of your litigation. We want to help you win.
Four principles, one result.
Every investment we make runs through the same four filters. They shape how we underwrite, how we structure capital, and how we work alongside counsel from the first call through resolution.
Honesty
Straightforward diligence and candid conversations from the first call through resolution.
Alignment
Structures designed so clients, counsel, and investors all benefit from the same outcome.
Speed
Shorter underwriting times and quicker decisions, because trial lawyers do not have time to wait.
Creativity
Flexible capital that adapts to the shape of the case, the docket, and the client.
Widespread industry recognition, translated into flexibility.
Our experience means a straightforward process with quicker decision making, shorter underwriting times, and greater flexibility for our trial partners.
Signal Peak's investment committee includes a retired federal district court judge, one of the country's leading litigation funding law professors from Cornell Law School, and the former head of Omni Bridgeway's Houston office.
Our name reflects how we think about your journey.
The founding members of Signal Peak include an accomplished marathoner, a competitive weightlifter, and a top-ranked equestrian. Competition is in our DNA, and success is not our aspiration. It is a habit.
We bring that same mindset to our work: providing financial and strategic support to plaintiffs and their attorneys. We offer limitless flexibility, including financing to cover litigation costs and expenses, claim acquisition and monetization, and law firm credit.
Litigating against a well-capitalized defendant can feel like climbing a mountain. With funding in place from a trusted partner, clients can ascend with confidence, reaching for outcomes that might otherwise remain out of reach.
