Initial Litigation Offering (ILO)

Initial Litigation Offering refers to the initial public offering of securities in a lawsuit financing company. It is a type of alternative investment where individuals or institutions can invest in a lawsuit in exchange for a share of the potential financial recovery from the lawsuit. The funds raised through an Initial Litigation Offering are used to finance the costs associated with litigating a case, such as expert witness fees, court costs, and attorney fees. The return on investment depends on the outcome of the lawsuit and can range from zero to several times the original investment.
