Hartwell Funds
Hartwell Funds is a Western Australian dispute funder. It was established to address a market gap in dispute finance (often referred to as “litigation funding”):
to service claims that are too small for existing market operators; and
to provide an offering which has the requisite prudential oversight to protect the interests of both claimants and investors.
Hartwell’s Board is comprised of reputable Western Australian businesspersons with particular experience in the areas of corporate finance and law.
Hartwell’s mission is to pair claimants with investors to facilitate resources for those claimants to pursue claims where it otherwise would not have been possible.
We welcome enquires by claimants and investors alike.
The namesake of Hartwell is derived from Western Australia’s fifth Premier and Attorney General of the State, Sir Walter Hartwell James KCMG.
Sir James championed social causes like women’s suffrage. At a meeting in the Library of the Supreme Court of Western Australia on 15 June 1927, a motion was put and carried unanimously that Sir James serve as the inaugural President of the Law Society from 1928 to 1930. He was also a founding member of the University of Western Australia and was elected its Chancellor in 1930.
