We exist because the right to seek legal remedy should never be contingent on financial means, and because the claims of our community are too important to be ignored.
To stand alongside displaced Palestinians, Palestinian-Americans, and their families as they seek justice in U.S. courts. We partner with experienced legal teams who share our commitment to the communities we serve, taking on the financial risk so that plaintiffs can focus on telling their story and seeking the outcome they deserve. If a case does not succeed, clients owe nothing.
A world where financial hardship is never the reason a just claim goes unpursued. We believe access to justice is a fundamental right, and that the voices of those who survived these attacks and the loss of their homes deserve to be heard. OBF exists to make sure they are.
We have designed our process to be straightforward, respectful of your time, and as stress-free as possible. Here is what to expect from the moment you reach out to the moment your case reaches resolution.
Fill out our intake form with basic information about yourself and your claim. This takes just a few minutes and does not commit you to anything.
Our team and retained legal counsel will review your submission to assess whether your claim meets our funding criteria. We will follow up with you directly to discuss next steps or request additional information.
If your case is approved, we will work with you and the attorneys to finalize a funding agreement. Everything is explained clearly before we engage.
OBF funds the legal costs of your case while the attorneys get to work. You focus on your story. We handle the financial risk.
Your case moves toward resolution through settlement, trial, or enforcement. If the case succeeds, OBF recoups its funding and agreed portion from the proceeds. If it does not, you owe us nothing.
This is where we share news about cases of interest, and stories highlighting the criminal violence committed by illegal settlers in and around the West Bank, affecting Palestinian-Americans and their communities.
Founded by a Palestinian-American entrepreneur who understands what's at stake.
OBF was founded by Adel Bseiso, a technology entrepreneur with decades of experience building and leading creative and tech-driven ventures. Born in Palestine and raised in the United States, Adel has served as founder, CEO, creative director, and board member across multiple companies, and is also an accomplished songwriter and music producer. His personal history is at the heart of what OBF is and why it exists. He understands firsthand what it means to carry a connection to a place and to a people who have spent generations fighting to be heard."Palestine is the moral issue of our time."
We know that litigation finance is not familiar territory for most people, and that reaching out about a legal claim can feel like a big step. These are some of the questions we hear most often. If you don't find what you're looking for here, feel free to contact us directly.
Litigation finance is when a third party, like OBF, funds a case's legal costs in exchange for a share of the proceeds if the case is won or settled. It allows plaintiffs to pursue valid claims without bearing the financial burden themselves.
It means that if your case does not succeed, you owe OBF nothing. We take on the financial risk so that you don't have to.
OBF focuses on cases involving displaced Palestinians and their families, particularly those involving land and property expropriation with U.S. or dual U.S.-Israeli defendants. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, we encourage you to reach out, and we will let you know.
No. OBF is a litigation finance platform, not a law firm. We fund cases and partner with legal counsel, but we do not provide legal advice or representation directly.
Every case is different. After you submit your information, our team and retained counsel will review your claim and be in touch about next steps. We work to move quickly because we know that for many of our clients, time matters.
You can submit your case through our intake form on the Apply page. Someone from our team will follow up with you directly.
