Frequently Asked Questions

Manolete Partners Plc is the leading UK-based insolvency litigation financing company. We specialise in the acquisition and funding of insolvency-related claims.

Manolete offers services including the purchase of insolvency claims, funding of insolvency litigation and providing expert support to the work of insolvency practitioners and their chosen lawyers to maximise recoveries from insolvency cases.

The process typically involves an initial assessment of the net worth of the target, assessment of the claim's merits, an agreement on the purchase terms and the immediate payment of upfront consideration to the insolvency estate. Manolete then assumes the responsibility and risk of pursuing the litigation as the assignee.

Insolvency Practitioners’ and insolvency solicitors’ cases can directly benefit from Manolete’s finance by obtaining immediate cash for claims and transferring the risk and cost of litigation to Manolete. Creditors very often get much improved returns compared to other funding models.

Manolete focuses on a wide range of insolvency-related claims, including but not limited to, overdrawn director’s loan accounts, preference claims, transactions at an undervalue, wrongful trading and misfeasance claims/breach of duty.

The duration for resolving a claim can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case. However, Manolete aims to resolve claims efficiently; the average case duration is about 12 months.

No, we simply offer the IP a full indemnity for adverse costs. We have the financial strength to support these claims.

Manolete employs a team of experienced insolvency litigation professionals across the regions to rigorously assess claims and works closely with external insolvency law firms (chosen by the IP) to pursue claims, ensuring a high success rate. Our net worth team carries out a forensic analysis of what assets remain in the Estate. Our Investment Committee makes a careful judgment on whether to proceed on the claim.

Insolvency Practitioners can engage with Manolete by contacting us through the website, email, or phone. An initial discussion can be arranged to discuss the specifics of the case and explore potential funding or claim purchase options. There is no cost to submit an inquiry.
