Bring Financial Discipline to Your Dispute Portfolio
Companies are spending more than they need to on uncoordinated litigation, with no unified view of total exposure. We change that.

The Litigation Audit
Most companies manage every ongoing lawsuit as an isolated legal problem with separate outside counsel, separate budgets, separate strategies.
The result is predictable: legal spend escalates without oversight, strategic positions conflict across matters, and boards have no unified view of what their dispute portfolio is actually costing the enterprise.
We evaluate your company's active and anticipated disputes as a portfolio of capital risk — not as isolated legal events.
The result is a board-ready strategy that identifies what's worth fighting, what should be settled, and where recoverable value is being left on the table.
Our audits identify where companies are overspending and where value can be recovered. Our fees are aligned with the value we recover.
What you receive
Dispute Portfolio Map
A complete inventory of all active, threatened, and anticipated matters with exposure estimates, current spend, and phase classification.
Strategic Classification
Each dispute classified as prosecute, defend, settle, or monitor — based on ROI analysis, not just legal merit.
Capital Escalation Forecast
Forward-looking budget projections tied to litigation phases — so your board can see what each path actually costs before committing capital.
Coordination Assessment
Identification of overlapping claims, inconsistent positions, and opportunities for consolidated strategy across your outside counsel.
Board-Ready Report
A single document your board and executive team can use to make informed capital allocation decisions about your litigation portfolio.
How it works
1. Audit
We review your full dispute docket, outside counsel relationships, and litigation budget to map total exposure and identify inefficiencies.
2. Classify
Each matter is evaluated for exposure, strategic value, and capital trajectory. We classify disputes by recommended action and ROI.
3. Execute
We deliver a board-ready report with clear recommendations. For companies that want ongoing oversight, we serve as strategic dispute counsel — coordinating outside firms, managing spend, and reporting quarterly to the board.
Who We Work With
Companies managing three or more active disputes without a unified strategy.
Boards and CFOs seeking visibility into total litigation exposure.
Venture-backed companies where legal costs compete with runway.
Companies preparing for a fundraise, acquisition, or exit where unresolved litigation creates valuation discount.
We work with companies across a variety of technology and finance verticals.
Inspired by kintsugi
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing what is broken with gold. We apply the same philosophy to corporate conflict — transforming litigation from breakage into a framework for recovering value. When things are broken, something new and stronger can still be created with enough attention and care.
Principal and Chief Litigation Auditor
Dave-Inder Comar
-
I help companies treat litigation as a capital allocation problem. After 20 years of practice across technology, crypto, and venture-backed companies — including international arbitration and sovereign-level dispute work — I developed the litigation audit to give boards the financial visibility they need over their dispute portfolios.
My practice sits at the intersection of complex commercial disputes, emerging technology, and cross-border legal strategy. I provide the portfolio-level oversight that neither in-house teams nor outside trial firms are structured to deliver alone.
I am currently completing my PhD in international law at the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies. I am also the co-founder of Comar Molle LLP.
