Financial Assistance for Plaintiff Lawyers
There are customized attorney funding options available to contingency fee attorneys whose salaries depend on cases settling or concluding. The methods of funding can be tailored specifically to each attorney’s case, budget, and time constraints. A financial lawsuit cash advance through attorney funding allows more time for an attorney to prepare an effective case and can help their law firm grow.

How Attorney Funding Can Be Used
Marketing Development
Litigation funds can strengthen program development.
Working Capital
Funding can be used as working capital to cover firm expenses, including operations, overhead, and salaries.
Litigation Expenses
Funding can be used to cover court fees, trial exhibits, expert witnesses, and an attorney’s hourly fees.
Attorney Funding vs. Traditional Bank Loans
Legal lending provides a means of alternative financing to bank loans or other lines of credit that are practical and accessible. Traditional banks typically require collateral from the lawyer in exchange for funding, and the partners of the law firm are also required to give them a personal guarantee. Unearned contingency fees from lawsuits will not be accepted as collateral.
Attorney funding is different from lines of credit and loans from a traditional bank in two different ways:
1. No Fixed Payments
No fixed payments are required for law firms or attorneys because attorney funding is specifically designed for them.
2. Non-Recourse Capital
Law firm financing is not a loan – it is collateralized by future contingency fees through a non-recourse advancement of capital.
The obtainability of lines of credit and bank loans to law firms is a lengthy, uncertain process that often leaves law firms and attorneys without the capital necessary to grow their practices, initiate marketing campaigns, and pursue new business.

We fund law firms and attorneys, as well as working capital, for all facets of your contingency fee practice.

Accelerate Your Law Firm’s Growth
Attorney funding is an effective way for law firms to ease cash burdens associated with commercial and contingency fee legal practices.
Our funding services also provide liquid assets to law firms and lawyers who are engaged in a diversified practice, so they can spend more time focusing on litigating cases and improving case outcomes against highly-capitalized defendants.
Law firms can finance the expensive costs associated with lawsuits, including pretrial procedures or intricate discovery, which can take months or years to settle in court. You can receive the cash you need to help you and your clients present strong arguments with studies, expert witnesses, and other possible expenses.
Improved Operating Capital and Cash Flow
A steady flow of cash is required to effectively run a law firm, and in a competitive market, it can be difficult to succeed if a practice is faced with protracted cases, out-of-pocket litigation costs, and delayed payments. Our specialists at The Legal Funding Group enable law firms and attorneys to build a cushion for necessary expenses, produce working capital, and monetize illiquid assets.
Developing Your Legal Practice and Law Firm
In order for a law firm or an attorney to acquire new clients, they may not be able to implement marketing plans without adequate funding. Our funding services allows law firms and lawyers to increase their reach.

Repayment Options
The terms of your repayment will depend on the specific details of the funding you are using. You will know what to expect so you can plan accordingly as we discuss our terms with you in advance. Litigation finance applications are designed with lawyers in mind, which is why they have a different structure than a bank loan or a line of credit does.
Future receivables will be accepted as collateral, unlike a bank, which typically requests non-liquid collateral in exchange for future assets. We recognize the value of a pending settlement or lawsuit, which is why we will accept case inventories to prove that law firms and attorneys will be able to pay these advances back.
There are two reasons why The Legal Funding Group does not require personal credit checks to confirm an application. Funding advances are considered business expenses instead of personal expenses, which makes a personal credit check unnecessary.
Once an agreement has been approved, an attorney can receive their funding within 24 hours. The funds can be used to enhance a lawyer’s business with no limits.
Approval from The Legal Funding Group is never based on a person’s credit score. We focus on the overall health of your law firm, including public records, years in business, vendor payment history, cash flow, and business revenue, as well as on the viability of your cases.

Your clients are your number one priority and our team at The Legal Funding Group understands this. Our application process is quick, and we streamline our approval process to give your law firm the funding it needs in under 24 hours, so you can spend more time focusing on your cases and less time worrying about money.
Compared to bank loans and other traditional loans, we have fewer requirements for attorney funding. We will never give you more capital than you can manage on your own, and we will never over-leverage your firm. We will work with you every step of the way to figure out what type of funding works best for your practice. If you have any questions about the process, we will always be there to help.
