VPC is headquartered in Chicago and is a majority-owned affiliate of global asset manager&nbsp;<strong>Janus Henderson Group&nbsp;(NYSE: JHG)<\/strong>. The transaction is intended to support&nbsp;ESKARIAM&#8217;s&nbsp;continued growth and strengthen its position&nbsp;as the leading platform&nbsp;in the Spanish market for high-value, high-impact strategic litigation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ESKARIAM currently manages over \u20ac1.5 billion in claims on behalf of thousands of affected parties \u2014 including businesses&nbsp;and&nbsp;public institutions&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;in&nbsp;competition disputes involving some of Europe&#8217;s largest multinational corporations. The firm is the only Spanish firm recognized by&nbsp;<em>Global Competition Review<\/em>&nbsp;among the top 100 European law firms in the claimant category.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this financing, ESKARIAM will&nbsp;bolster&nbsp;its litigation&nbsp;teams, enhance its operational and technological infrastructure, and continue advancing its&nbsp;model of&nbsp;strategic litigation based on specialization and quality, supported by key alliances with leading European law firms.&nbsp;The facility is structured as an asset-backed lending arrangement&nbsp;incorporating bespoke structuring features tailored to the dynamics of ESKARIAM&#8217;s business and operating model.&nbsp;In this context, the firm&nbsp;is targeting&nbsp;to reach \u20ac3.5 billion in damages claims under management by 2030.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>David Fern\u00e1ndez, CEO of ESKARIAM, said:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Having a financial partner such as Victory Park Capital&nbsp;validates&nbsp;the strength of the model we have been building at ESKARIAM since 2018. This facility provides ESKARIAM with the financial depth to prosecute every case to the highest standard, for as long as it takes. When you litigate against the largest companies in the world, the quality and persistence of your case preparation is what drives outcomes \u2014 whether at trial or in settlement. Victory Park&nbsp;Capital&nbsp;understands&nbsp;this, and&nbsp;its&nbsp;long-term commitment allows us to invest accordingly. We are building the preeminent litigation platform in Europe, and this partnership is a defining step.&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hugo&nbsp;Lestiboudois, Principal at Victory Park Capital, said:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>ESKARIAM has built a differentiated platform with a proven&nbsp;track record&nbsp;of recovery, robust operational infrastructure, and a high-quality portfolio of claims backed by enforceable legal rights against solvent counterparties. This transaction exemplifies VPC&#8217;s approach:&nbsp;identifying&nbsp;sectors where institutional capital is scarce, collateral is tangible, and our structuring&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;delivers downside protection while enabling platform growth. The European legal services sector is maturing&nbsp;rapidly&nbsp;and we see a significant, long-term&nbsp;opportunity to deploy capital alongside market leaders like ESKARIAM.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior secured credit facility from Janus Henderson affiliate will fund litigation team expansion and case prosecution as ESKARIAM targets \u20ac3.5 billion in claims under management by 2030 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":6013,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[90,101],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6016"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6016\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6017,"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6016\/revisions\/6017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eskariam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
