Richardson Hartley Law is examining a variety of ways to help investors who have lost money in Godwin Capital.
We believe that Loan Note Holder (LNH) investors in Godwin Capital companies have been badly let down with a failure to protect them from their losses.
Our initial work is to help victims recover their money via their banks. We have the lowest no win, no fee rates in the market and capped fees.
Banks have a duty to protect their customers and we are representing a number of Godwin Capital investors to get them refunded by the banks.
However, the bank reimbursement model does have some limitations in that investors can often only reclaim up to £85,000 and must have sent their money from a UK bank. We are aware that many investors were from overseas and many banks are refusing to pay out.
Introducers to Godwin Capital included Hunter Jones Group, Holborn Assets and Capital 3pm.
Richardson Hartley Law is building a group to help all Godwin Capital loan note holders to recover their money.
In a significant development, the administrators issued claims against the directors and associated companies in the High Court of Justice on 22 May 2026. The claims relate to the mismanagement of Godwin Capital No. 8 Ltd and include the following heads of terms:
- breach of directors’ fiduciary duties,
- fraudulent trading,
- knowing receipt and dishonest assistance.
The administrators have also confirmed that they have been appointed as Joint Liquidators over two further Godwin SPV companies. This is expected to increase total company asset recovery to approximately £6 million, up from the previously estimated £4–5 million. The administrators have indicated they will continue to review the wider group structure to identify further opportunities to enhance recovery.
A formal statutory update to investors is expected by 20 July 2026.
What this means for investors
The High Court claims and litigation is a slow process and the sums involved mean that investors should not rely on the insolvency process alone to recover their losses in full.
Richardson Hartley Law continues to pursue bank reimbursement for eligible UK and overseas investors.
As a solicitors firm, we are also able to look at potential professional negligence claims against introducers although this is generally limited to regulated firms.
We are helping Godwin Capital investors who sent money to or from a UK bank account to reclaim money under no win no fee agreements.
