About Legalpay:
LegalPay is funding legal cases in India that are nearing the late stage of judgment in the arbitration and civil courts. LegalPay is transforming the legal ecosystem to be a fair levelling field for all stakeholders. The core focus of LegalPay is B2B commercial cases where startups and companies can transfer the financial burden of litigation to LegalPay. Such funds can be utilized for completing purchase orders, as well as the overall growth of the company. The biggest question will be how you can invest in it. So the process is simple. LegalPay’s founder Kundan Shahi says that the SPV is created as a pool fund for which money will be raised from retail investors. Then with that money, a dozen such legal/interim finace cases will be funded, and the companies which the LegalPay will fund, decide the terms and conditions of his return from them. Small investments of up to Rs 25,000 can also be made in the litigation pool, whereas investors can invest as low as Rs. 10,000 in the interim finance pool, which is listed on their website (www.legalpay.in).
