About RGL
RGL Management initiates, builds and prosecutes large, complex, multi-party commercial legal actions; we are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in respect of regulated claims management activity.
RGL Management assists business owners, individuals and liquidators. Our team combines extensive expertise and experience in the law and the resolution of large scale commercial disputes, investment banking, arbitration and litigation funding, accountancy, insolvency, IT, corporate operational management and claimant communication. This combination of experience and expertise means that RGL Management is able to build the right team and resources for any commercial legal claim.
Where the prospective legal proceedings involve a large multi-claimant group seeking collective loss redress, RGL Management can obtain, through a well-established network of specialist litigation funders, brokers and insurers, the litigation funding and ATE insurance necessary to commence the Court action.
Having funding available means that you do not carry the financial burden of paying the costs of the legal team, and ATE insurance protects you against the financial risk of potentially paying your opponent’s legal costs. RGL Management also works with the selected lawyers to ensure that their fee arrangements are in line with the overall economics of the claim, so that the potential net value of a loss recovery is preserved.
In addition to the lawyers, funders and ATE insurers, RGL Management also manages the important accompanying publicity machine which is used to: a) build the claimant book; and b) maintain pressure on the target to settle, rather than taint their brand with a continued stream of disruptive publicity. This activity encompasses PR to exploit the potential of the Press, and critically, online marketing and social media.
RGL Management also possesses integrated administration and back-office functions, equipped with proprietary RGL-ClaimPoint software, along with analysis, evidence-gathering and processing capability, all essential to the efficient and effective pursuit of large scale legal claims against significantly well-resourced financial institutions.
In summary, RGL Management has the experience, funding and advisor networks, combined with the resources necessary to assist you to unlock the contingent asset value of potential legal claims, whether as a single claimant or by building, resourcing and managing group litigation.
NB: If you have previously registered with any other group intending to take action in this regard, there is nothing to stop you from registering with us now.
