Chairman's Statement

Sir Roger Carrick KCMG LVO

Sir Roger is a former British diplomat, with prominent appointments including Ambassador to Indonesia and High Commissioner to Australia; a published author, lecturer and business adviser.

Sir Roger has held business directorships and chaired the board at several companies with international interests.  The Chairman of Lime Finance is also Vice Chairman of the Royal Over-Seas League, a Freeman of the City of London and a former Trustee of the Chevening Estate and Visiting Fellow, University of California, Berkeley.

Lime Finance fills a gap in the litigation funding market; a gap for those people who have assets in dispute or who expect to receive a financial settlement, but cannot easily fund the legal fees of their chosen solicitor.  In these cases, we provide a loan to pay legal fees until the action is settled.  This helps more people to have access to the best legal counsel and support.

My senior management have extensive experience in banking as lending officers and in the legal profession as litigators.  We therefore understand the challenges from all points of view and can assess any litigation finance proposition.

Ethos for our Solicitors

We seek to work with the same firms of Solicitors over an extended period so as to build partnerships.  Our partner Solicitor firms have great discretion to allocate our funding across their clients.

Ethos for our Clients

We aim to be approachable, fast and transparent in our decisions and fully up to date with online account management via our secure website.  This puts clients in full control with 24 hr access to their account.
