Legalist
Legalist is what LexShares was trying to build and what Burford does at institutional scale — a technology-driven litigation finance manager with $2B AUM, 248 realizations across four funds, and a two-thirds win rate — but it is not accessible to retail or accredited investors. This is institutional only, and the minimum tells you everything you need to know about who it is built for.
