Funding Opportunity: Partnerships in Social and Environmental Disputes in the Amazon

April 13, 2023

Funding Opportunity: Partnerships in Social and Environmental Disputes in the Amazon

Daniel Cavalcante is an experienced Brazilian lawyer, and seeks partners to structure partnerships in disputes involving indigenous and socio-environmental rights against large global companies that have business activities in Brazil. Daniel Cavalcante has an excellent portfolio of opportunities already filed, and many cases to file against large global companies in Brazil and even abroad. With extensive experience in litigation related to the environment and indigenous rights, he is looking for financial partners to structure a partnership that aims to share fees in collective claims. Cavalcante believes that by joining forces with investors interested in financing litigation, he will be able to expand access to justice for vulnerable populations and protect the environment more efficiently, as collective demands are capable of causing impact at scale. In addition, Cavalcante points out that these processes have great potential for financial return. Companies that ignore environmental laws or indigenous rights can be fined and forced to compensate affected communities. When filed collectively, these claims can generate a significant amount of legal fees. If you are an investor looking for investment opportunities that bring social and environmental benefits, contact Daniel Cavalcante and be part of this justice and sustainability movement. Cavalcante maintains that a good structured partnership with his office can help ensure that companies comply with current legislation and protect the environment and the rights of indigenous populations. It is worth mentioning that Daniel Cavalcante is an experienced and renowned professional who has worked in several successful cases in Brazil. Among his most notable achievements are the millionaire lawsuits in defense of the indigenous peoples of the Brazilian Amazon, in which he successfully participated. Therefore, with his vast legal knowledge and his dedication mainly to the indigenous peoples of the Amazon, Daniel Cavalcante has stood out as one of the main socio-environmental lawyers in the country and sees an excellent opportunity for financial return for partners and investors who believe and invest in these demands.

Loopa Finance Wins at the Lexology European Awards 2026 in the Litigation / General Counsel Category

By John Freund |

Loopa Finance has been recognized as the winner in the Litigation – General Counsel Team category at the Lexology European Awards 2026, one of the leading recognitions in the international legal sector.

The award was received in London by Ignacio Delgado, General Counsel Europe at the firm, on behalf of Loopa Finance’s European team, composed of Ignacio Delgado (General Counsel Europe), Marina Gouveia (Investment Manager), Fernando Pérez Lozada (Senior Investment Manager), and Fernando Folgueiro (Managing Partner).

The Lexology European Awards recognize outstanding legal teams across the region through a methodology that combines independent research, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and thousands of nominations supported by clients and industry peers, as well as the annual research conducted by the Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal) and Client Choice.

The selection process is based on performance evaluations related to effective communication, commercial understanding, technical expertise, strategic management, and team strength, and is supported by a global community of more than 940,000 subscribers.

This recognition positions Loopa Finance’s European team among the leading practitioners in complex litigation and strategic legal management in Europe.

“This award reflects the strength of a team operating across two continents that understands litigation not only from a legal perspective, but also through financial analysis and risk management. It is the result of collective work and a rigorous, strategic approach to structuring complex disputes,” said Delgado during the ceremony.

More Than an Award: Validation of a Model

The award comes at a time of consolidation for the firm. Loopa Finance recently completed its rebranding process, evolving from Qanlex to Loopa Finance and reinforcing an identity aligned with its growth in continental Europe and its broader international positioning.

It also coincides with the closing of Fund III, raising €65 million to finance complex litigation and arbitration across Europe and Latin America, significantly expanding the firm’s investment capacity and supporting the continued growth of its platform in the region.

This milestone adds to the firm’s recent rankings, including its Band 1 classification by Chambers & Partners in Latin America and Europe, its recognition as “Highly Recommended” by Leaders League across multiple jurisdictions, and the inclusion of members of its team among the Thought Leaders in Third-Party Funding by the Lexology Index. Together, these results confirm the strength of Loopa Finance’s model and the consolidation of its team as a reference in the strategic financing of disputes at an international level.

Pravati Capital Partners with SEI to Bring Litigation Finance to Registered Investment Advisors

By John Freund |

One of the oldest litigation finance firms in the United States has announced a strategic partnership aimed at expanding mainstream investor access to the asset class.

As reported by Business Wire via Yahoo Finance, Scottsdale-based Pravati Capital has partnered with financial services firm SEI to provide registered investment advisors with structured access to litigation finance as an alternative investment option. The collaboration will leverage SEI's distribution platform to make litigation funding opportunities available within advisor portfolios.

The partnership reflects growing institutional interest in litigation finance as an alternative asset class. Historically, litigation funding has been difficult for mainstream financial advisors to access on behalf of their clients, with the market largely dominated by specialized funds and institutional investors. The Pravati-SEI arrangement seeks to bridge that gap by creating a more accessible pathway for advisors seeking diversification through non-correlated investments.

The announcement underscores a broader industry shift as litigation finance continues to move from a niche strategy toward greater acceptance within traditional wealth management channels. As the global litigation funding market grows — projected to reach over $25 billion in 2026 — partnerships like this one may signal a new phase of institutional adoption.
