About
The firm advises clients on private investments that are tied to high-stakes civil litigation, with most investments concentrated in intellectual property disputes and matters in sectors such as software, semiconductors, and biotech. It primarily serves family offices and high‑net‑worth individuals and limits its clientele to those who meet a defined “Qualified Client” standard.
Investment opportunities are presented and evaluated on a non‑discretionary, transaction‑by‑transaction basis; the firm meets individually with clients about specific opportunities and assists them in building diversified portfolios of litigation‑related investments. Its analysis relies on public case information and in‑house legal research, and the firm emphasizes the binary, high‑risk and potentially illiquid nature of these investments, which often resolve by settlement or judicial decision within a few years.
The firm’s business model is notable for using performance‑based compensation and for acting as managing member of special‑purpose entities used in transactions, with those roles and fees disclosed to clients. Its senior personnel include formally trained legal and technical professionals, and the firm does not operate discretionary or pooled funds, does not hold custody of client assets, and does not broadly solicit investors.

Forms ADV
Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
