PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dec 4, 2019 — LawCoin Inc. (“LawCoin”), a legal fintech company, today announced the digital tokenization of ownership interests in LawCoin Investments, LLC (“LCI”), making it the world’s first tokenized litigation finance investment vehicle. LCI is LawCoin’s portfolio investment vehicle for investing in litigation finance opportunities and other legal claims. LawCoin is building a platform for investments in litigation and other legal claims, which is slated to launch in early 2020.

In partnership with ConsenSys Codefi, LawCoin digitized and created the LCI membership interests on the Ethereum blockchain. Codefi is a flexible and scalable product suite powering the blockchain operating system for commerce and finance, built to optimize business processes and payments, digitize financial instruments, and construct customized decentralized applications. Through the Codefi Assets platform, LawCoin was able to create tokens that represent ownership interests in LCI. Subsequent to the initial tokenization, LCI intends to issue security tokens to provide institutional and accredited investors with broad exposure to this uncorrelated asset class. Because lawsuits generally less correlated with financial markets, they’re an effective hedge against recession.

LawCoin CEO and Co-Founder Noah Axler said, “We are proud to have reached the important milestone of tokenizing our portfolio investment and being the first to use tokenization in litigation finance. LawCoin has taken the initial step in introducing digital assets to our industry and we expect to see continued adoption of our model, as investors and issuers recognize the increased efficiency and liquidity that tokenization provides.”

Noah Axler continued, “Now that we have tokenized LCI, we will continue to look for quality assets to add to the fund’s portfolio. We are also currently working to tokenize individual litigation finance deals through our network of investors and, starting next year with the expected launch of our platform, LawCoin intends to offer tokenized litigation finance opportunities to an even wider range of institutional and accredited investors. Working with a great partner in ConsenSys, we are helping to transform litigation finance and contribute to continued market growth.”

This announcement comes after LCI completed an investment in a multi-million dollar commercial litigation matter, its first individual case funding.

“Because of open-source programmable blockchain technology, and the power of tokenization, we’ve begun to witness profound changes in how easy it is for enterprises and entrepreneurs to create new and more accessible investment models for advanced use cases like litigation finance. One of the reasons we built Codefi was to democratize access to capital, and it’s very exciting to help LawCoin do exactly that in an exciting industry like litigation finance,” said Patrick Berarducci, Global Fintech Co-Head at ConsenSys.

Litigation finance is the practice of providing capital to a party involved in litigation in return for a portion of any financial recovery from the lawsuit. In the last several years, the United States litigation finance market has seen significant growth, with some estimates placing its size in the multi-billion dollar range annually. It has become a mainstream funding solution that helps equalize access to the legal system.

Tokenization of a litigation finance investment is the process of issuing digital membership interests in a holding company that owns the litigation finance asset. More generally, the digitized tokens can be structured to represent a variety of ownership and economic interests in an underlying asset, such as equity in a company that owns the asset, an interest in debt secured by future revenues, or a stream of income based on cash flows from the asset.
