Track record and history of Deminor
Defense Des Minoritaires
Deminor is a pioneering force in international litigation funding. Privately-owned, fiercely independent and driven by integrity, we have been relentlessly restoring justice for our clients since 1990.
The Deminor name is derived from the French ‘défense des minoritaires’ and reflects our origins in providing services to minority shareholders. Still very much defined by our commitment to good causes, we continue to push boundaries in the pursuit of our clients’ interests.
We have achieved positive recoveries for our clients in more than 79.5% of the cases we have funded, which puts us above the industry average of 70%. This includes the largest ever settlement to take place in Europe of EUR 1.3 billion in the Fortis case, as well as a landmark settlement in the Olympus securities action in Japan in 2017.
Our values
The Deminor DNA
Our values define us and how we work. At Deminor, we are constantly striving to comply with the highest possible ethical standards, which is why we refuse to defend positions that conflict with our values.
Our integrity is underpinned by our independence. As we are an independent group, we are controlled by our partners, meaning that we are not influenced by outside parties and will focus entirely on your best interests.
All our relationships with clients are built on honesty and trust. We offer transparent assessments of the risks and potential returns of each claim, and we are always clear about how much and how we will be paid.
In short, we are a funder you can rely on.
