Summary
Corbin Capital Partners, a majority woman-owned independent alternative asset manager, today announced the final close of CLF I, L.P. ("CLF I" or "the Fund"), its first dedicated litigation finance fund, with $342 million in committed capital for the fund and related co-investments, according to a Business Wire release dated May 6, 2026. The firm reported $10.1 billion in assets under management as of March 1, 2026.
CLF I concentrates mainly on commercial litigation funding, including business disputes, anti-trust, mass torts, bankruptcy-related litigation, and intellectual property. Corbin describes its approach as credit-like, targeting later-stage, shorter-duration and diversified asset pools that offer additional downside protection. The fund is positioned as a flexible and creative capital provider across market environments, with a stated emphasis on alignment, structuring and implementation.
Cesar Bello, Partner and Director of Litigation Finance at Corbin, said the close reflects investor appetite for uncorrelated, credit-oriented strategies. He argued that litigation finance offers an idiosyncratic return profile that is particularly attractive amid volatile geopolitical and market conditions, noting that periods of dislocation often drive increased litigation activity and a growing opportunity set.
The fund has already deployed into 26 investments and is expected to be fully deployed over the next 18 to 24 months. Corbin said its multi-strategy platform and longstanding partner relationships across capital markets provide a strong sourcing channel. The firm has invested in litigation finance since 2018, leveraging its legal credit expertise alongside its broader investment platform.
