A long-time litigation funding professional and former trial lawyer, Ronit Cohen is considered among the most experienced legal finance underwriting counsel in the U.S. After working as a litigator at Simpson Thacher and O’Melveny and Myers, she joined the burgeoning funding industry in 2012, first at Bentham IMF, now Omni Bridgeway, where she helped launch their first office, and then at Validity Finance, where in addition to serving as a member of the Risk Monitoring Team, she headed up a pro bono effort to provide capital to wrongfully accused individuals during the pendency of their civil actions.

Ronit has reviewed hundreds, if not thousands, of investment opportunities over the years, underwriting approximately
fifty of these as both single client-side cases and law firm portfolios covering a wide range of disputes, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, bankruptcy, insurance claims, trademark, copyright, and patent infringement.
At Arcadia, Ronit’s focus is on underwriting, and she leverages over a decade of experience leading, creating, and monitoring litigation merits and risk projects to provide creative solutions to claimants and law firms. She is a graduate of Columbia University Law School and Yale University.
“At Arcadia Finance, we prioritize what matters most–our clients’ cases. We understand the challenges you face, having been trial lawyers ourselves. That’s why we created our ‘frictionless funding’ approach, which means streamlined processes, clear communication, and efficient decision-making, all aimed at getting clients the capital they need, fast.”
