About us.
Focused Investment Strategies
in Uncorrelated Markets

Founded in New York in 2013,
Lake Whillans is an insurance- and legal-focused investment firm.
The firm started as an early entrant in the then-nascent litigation finance industry — providing capital to companies involved in complex commercial disputes. Over time, our investment strategies expanded to include hedge-fund-style and insurance-related investments.
Through unique sourcing and underwriting capabilities we work through complex environments to uncover asymmetric and uncorrelated investment opportunities.
Our Philosophy
and Approach
Lake Whillans’ namesake is a subglacial lake in Antarctica, where a scientist-led expedition discovered life flourishing a half-mile beneath the ice crust in total darkness. As investors, we similarly seek to unearth overlooked economic ecosystems.

We work with companies ranging in size from Global Fortune 500 companies to early-stage ventures, helping unlock legal asset value through off-balance-sheet financing and strategic expertise.
