When you take cases on contingency, you’re betting on your clients. Attorney funding gives you the resources to see those cases through without the financial pressure to settle early. Your expertise deserves proper compensation, and your clients deserve the time it takes to build a winning case.
Law firms face a unique challenge. You invest months or years into cases before seeing a dollar in fees. Meanwhile, bills pile up. Expert witnesses need payment. Court costs add up. Your staff expects their salaries on time. This financial strain forces many firms to settle cases for less than they’re worth or turn away promising clients who can’t pay upfront.
What Is Attorney Funding?
Attorney funding provides law firms with immediate capital to cover litigation expenses. This isn’t a traditional loan. It’s non-recourse funding tied directly to your case outcomes. If your case doesn’t win, you owe nothing. The funding company only gets paid from successful settlements or judgments.
Law firms use this funding to pay for everything from expert testimony to medical records. You can cover deposition costs, filing fees, and investigation expenses. Some firms use the funding to maintain cash flow during long trials. Others use it to hire additional staff or invest in case development.
Your clients need you to have the resources to fight insurance companies and corporate defendants. These opponents have deep pockets and teams of lawyers. Attorney funding levels the playing field. You can hire the best experts, conduct thorough discovery, and take cases to trial when necessary.
How Attorney Funding Works
The process starts when you identify a case that needs funding. You submit basic information about the claim, the defendant, and the expected settlement range. The funding company reviews the case details and assesses the likelihood of success.
Most applications get reviewed within 24 hours. The funding company works directly with your firm to understand the case strength and funding needs. They’ll look at the defendant’s insurance coverage, the severity of injuries, and liability factors. Your track record and case strategy matter too.
Once approved, funds transfer to your firm quickly. Many law firms receive funding within 24 hours of approval. You can use the money immediately for case expenses. There are no restrictions on how you spend it, as long as it relates to litigation costs.
Your firm keeps control of the case. The funding company doesn’t interfere with legal strategy or settlement decisions. You decide when to settle, when to take cases to trial, and how to handle negotiations. The funding agreement simply ensures repayment from the settlement proceeds.

Benefits for Your Law Firm
Attorney funding eliminates the pressure to settle cases prematurely. Insurance companies know when law firms are financially stressed. They make lowball offers, hoping you’ll take quick settlements to cover expenses. With proper funding, you can wait for fair offers.
Your firm can take on bigger cases that require substantial upfront investment. Medical malpractice, product liability, and mass tort cases often need significant resources before generating fees. Attorney funding makes these cases accessible to firms of all sizes.
Cash flow stays consistent even during long trials. You can pay your staff, cover overhead, and maintain operations without dipping into reserves. Your firm’s financial health doesn’t depend on when cases settle.
The funding is completely non-recourse. This is critical. If a case doesn’t work out, you don’t repay the funding. The risk stays with us, not your firm. This protection lets you pursue justice for clients without fear of financial ruin.
You can say yes to more clients who need representation. Many people with strong cases can’t afford attorney fees upfront. Contingency arrangements help, but you still need money to work the case. Attorney funding removes that barrier.
Case Types We Fund
Personal injury cases make up most attorney funding requests. Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle crashes often involve serious injuries and long recovery times. These cases can take years to resolve, especially when liability is disputed.
Medical malpractice cases require extensive expert testimony and detailed investigation. A single expert can cost thousands of dollars. Multiple experts add up quickly. Attorney funding covers these costs while you build your case.
Premises liability cases, from slip and falls to inadequate security claims, need thorough documentation. You might need accident reconstruction experts, safety consultants, or engineering specialists. The funding pays for these professionals.
Workers’ compensation cases sometimes require additional legal action beyond standard claims. When third parties share liability or compensation is inadequate, attorney funding helps pursue full justice for injured workers.
Product liability cases often involve multiple plaintiffs and complex technical evidence. The funding supports extended litigation against well-funded manufacturers and their legal teams.
Mass tort cases require coordination and significant upfront investment. Attorney funding helps firms participate in these important cases that hold corporations accountable for widespread harm.

Working With Your Clients
Many attorneys wonder how funding affects client relationships. In our experience, clients appreciate knowing their lawyer has resources to fight for them. It demonstrates commitment and financial strength.
We work directly with law firms, not individual plaintiffs. Your clients don’t need to apply or provide financial information. The funding is based on case merit, not client credit scores.
Some firms use attorney funding alongside client pre-settlement funding. This combination ensures both the firm and the client can afford to wait for fair settlements. It’s a powerful strategy that puts maximum pressure on defendants.
Your attorney-client privilege remains intact. We don’t interfere with legal strategy or settlement decisions. You maintain complete control over how cases are handled.
Financial Planning for Law Firms
Smart firms use attorney funding as part of their overall financial strategy. Instead of turning away cases due to cost concerns, they fund the ones with strong merit. This selective approach maximizes return while minimizing risk.
The funding helps manage cash flow during slow periods. Personal injury practices often see uneven income streams. Cases settle in clusters, leaving gaps between paydays. Attorney funding smooths out these fluctuations.
Some firms use the funding to invest in growth. They hire additional attorneys, expand marketing efforts, or open new offices. The funding provides working capital without requiring bank loans or outside investors.
Planning for tax implications is important. Speak with your accountant about how attorney funding affects your firm’s tax situation. The structure of funding agreements can have different tax treatments.
