Clients: Civil litigation
Your solicitor
Is it in my solicitor’s interest for me to use a Novitas loan?
Your solicitor is independent so receives no financial incentive from Novitas and cannot recommend us to you. Our loan service is a funding option available for you to consider, and only you can decide to proceed with a Novitas loan.
Does every solicitor have access to the Novitas scheme?
No. Our loan service is only available through approved firms on our civil litigation funding scheme.
What happens if my solicitor is suspended from practice by the Solicitors Regulation Authority during the term of the loan?
You can cancel your loan facility which will require immediate repayment or with our written permission, transfer the loan facility to another solicitor.
What is the difference between my solicitor and Novitas Loans?
Your solicitor will carry out the legal proceedings to pursue your claim and provides you with legal advice. Novitas provide funds to pay for third party disbursements (costs) incurred by your solicitor in relation to your case, so that they can carry out this work. The funds will be used to pay for expert reports, barristers, court costs and other legal fees.
