Sound Familiar?
Why Law Firms Come to Us Instead of Their Bank
You're 8 months into a personal injury case. You've advanced $60K in expert witnesses and depositions. The case will settle for $400K+ but your cash reserves are gone.
A retiring attorney is selling their practice — 800 clients, $1.2M in annual revenue. Your bank wants 90 days for SBA. The seller has two other buyers.
You just won a $3M settlement but the payout is 90 days out. You've got $140K in disbursements owed to clients and expenses that can't wait.
You're opening a second office in a higher-traffic area. Build-out is $85K and your first three months of rent is another $24K. Your savings are tied up in pending cases.
Your firm has grown from 2 to 7 attorneys in 18 months. Payroll went from $35K to $120K/month. Revenue supports it — but not the timing.
You need $40K for case management software, a document review platform, and upgraded cybersecurity. This is malpractice protection, not optional.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're exactly who we built this for.

Why Us
Why Law Firms Choose Us Over Banks
We built our process around the way law firms actually operate — not the way banks wish you did.
We Understand Settlement Timelines
Banks see zero revenue for months and panic. Our lenders understand that a $2M settlement pipeline is real revenue — it just hasn't landed yet.
We Fund Case Expenses Upfront
Expert witnesses, depositions, and medical records cost tens of thousands before a case resolves. Our lenders fund litigation costs without case-level covenants.
Contingency Billing Doesn't Disqualify You
Banks want monthly receivables. Contingency firms collect in lump sums. Our lenders evaluate your caseload and operating history, not your billing model.
We Help You Scale Without Waiting
Hiring a new associate or merging with another firm takes capital now. Our lenders fund growth so you're not waiting on the next big settlement to invest.
No Interference With Your Cases
Litigation finance companies may influence case decisions. Our lending partners provide capital without oversight, covenants, or input on your legal strategy.
Student Debt Doesn't Block You
Most attorneys carry $150K+ in student loans. Banks count this against you. Our lenders evaluate firm revenue and cash flow, not your personal debt load.

Avoid These
5 Funding Mistakes That Cost Law Firms the Most
"Using personal credit cards for case expenses"
Advancing $30K in case costs on a 22% APR card costs $6,600/year in interest. A business line of credit at 12% costs $3,600 and keeps your personal credit clean.
"Waiting for settlements to fund operations"
Contingency cases create feast-or-famine cash flow. A $200K line of credit costs nothing until drawn and keeps operations running between settlements.
"Not shopping practice acquisition financing"
Your bank's SBA rate isn't the only option. Our network's SBA-preferred lenders often close 2-3 weeks faster with better terms.
"Underfunding a new office opening"
Budgeting $50K for a build-out that costs $85K means stopping construction mid-project. Add 30% buffer to every build-out estimate.
"Ignoring technology financing"
Case management software, e-discovery tools, and cybersecurity aren't luxuries — they're malpractice prevention. Financing spreads the cost over 24-36 months.
“Acquired a retiring partner's book for $1.8M. Our bank quoted 60 days for SBA. Basecamp closed in 21.”

The Best Time to Secure a Credit Line Is When Your Caseload Is Strong
68% of loan denials happen because of weak financials at time of application. A pre-approved credit line costs nothing until you draw it — but it's there when the next settlement delay hits, the next big case needs funding, or the next hire can't wait.
