ots Ad hoc-Service: FORIS AG <DE0005775803> FORIS forms FORIS Inc. in the United States and opens office in New York

Berlin, Bonn, Munich (ots Ad hoc-Service) -

The sender is solely responsible for the contents of this
announcement.
FORIS AG, the market
leader in financing legal proceedings in Germany, has expanded and
formed with FORIS Inc. a fully-owned subsidiary in the United States.
FORIS had already filed a patent application last year to protect the
business idea of finances legal proceedings in the U.S.
In the autumn of 1999, FORIS presented the business concept in the
U.S. to attorneys and institutional investors. The positive reactions
led to the decision to form a subsidiary with registered office in
New York City.
Although plaintiffs' attorneys are permitted contingent fees in
the U.S. in contrast to Germany, U.S. attorneys are normally not in
the financial position and are thus not willing to conduct years of
litigation exclusively on a contingent fee basis. After all, law
firms too must keep their business operations afloat. Attorneys thus
frequently work for a combination of hourly and contingent fees.
Clients are therefore left with substantial cost risks. Many
promising cases are thus not conducted in the United States as well.
Based on its market size and the high amounts in controversy, the
U.S. represents the most attractive high-growth market for FORIS.
Given that FORIS itself may agree upon contingent fees with attorneys
as part of compensation, U.S. attorneys are pleased to be solicited
as partners for cooperation with FORIS.
FORIS is already financing its first case in the U.S.
