The company has two reportable segments: Principal Finance, which earns maximum revenue and allocates capital to legal finance assets from its balance sheet and through interests in private funds managed by the company, and Asset Management and Other Services, which manages legal finance assets for third-party investors and provides other services to the legal industry.
