If you’ve come across references to a “Ferrum Capital lawsuit” from 2021, you are likely looking at a dispute involving Ferrum Capital, LLC (a financial services firm) and one of its former executives or clients. It is important to distinguish this from any unrelated legal matters involving similarly named entities (e.g., Ferrum Network, a blockchain project).
The legal battles in 2021 marked the beginning of the end for Ferrum Capital Partners as a major player in the bridge financing space. The litigation revealed the firm's precarious financial position.
As the litigation finance industry continues to grow, cases like this will likely be cited for years to come in law school classrooms and boardroom risk assessments alike. Whether you view Ferrum Capital as an aggressive enforcer of valid contracts or the defendant as a victim of predatory lending depends largely on your perspective—but the legal lessons remain indisputable.
The defense argued that the secondary funding was necessary because Ferrum had stopped communicating for three months during the COVID-19 pandemic. With Ferrum unresponsive, the defendant sought bridge financing to keep the litigation alive—an action they claimed was reasonable under the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
