Nera Capital, a pioneering specialist funding provider to law firms, is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Fintex Capital, the innovative investment firm dedicated to private debt.
As part of this partnership, Nera secured an initial £20 million investment from Fintex. The demand for law firm financing is growing quickly, as more and more consumers look for redress from hidden commissions on car financing to housing disrepair.
The new funding line will allow more consumers to have access to the justice they deserve as the financial barriers are diminished.
The partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies. It expands Nera Capital’s reach, diversifies its funding sources and enables it to bring the benefits of capital and expertise to a wider set of consumers. For Fintex, this is another landmark transaction, the 3rd UK funding line of c. £20 million.
This investment was fully funded by Fintex Capital’s flagship fund, Fintex Private Debt.
Aisling Byrne, Director of Nera Capital, said: “Fintex Capital’s investment enables the firm to accelerate its growth trajectory, further scaling its operations to provide crucial financial support to clients when they need it most.
“Along with being better positioned to ensure justice remains accessible, even against the most formidable adversaries, the additional funding line increases Nera Capital’s diversification.
“The Fintex investment strengthens Nera’s financial base, diversifies our funding sources and allows us to explore new avenues in our market.
“It also enables us to scale our robust platform. We are pleased that our operations were once again endorsed by a prominent institutional investor.
“Fintex made an excellent name for itself as a sophisticated, reliable lender in the UK and beyond.
“The Fintex team led by Sophie Batoua were a pleasure to deal with and the transaction was successfully executed in record time.”
Robert Stafler, CEO of Fintex Capital, said: “It comes as no surprise that demand for law firm finance is on the rise.
“This granular, insurance-backed financing provides vital funding to consumers when they need it most. “It enables them and their lawyers to bring justice to families who without Nera’s support would be unable to seek redress.
Nera has a strong track record in its market, having successfully provided c. £200m in funding for UK consumer claims to date.
“We are delighted to see that our investment helps Nera solidify its position as a leader in its field. To us, this is just the beginning of a successful long-term partnership.”
