Running a law firm means fronting real money — expert witnesses, filing and discovery costs, staff salaries — long before a case pays out. Law firm loans give you the working capital to carry cases and grow the practice without waiting on settlements or slow-paying clients.
What firms fund
- Case costs — experts, depositions, filing and discovery on contingency matters.
- Payroll — associates, paralegals and staff through long case timelines.
- Bridging fees — cover the gap until settlements, judgments or billed hours pay.
- Marketing & growth — client acquisition and new practice areas.
- Technology & office — case management, e-discovery and space.
Funding options
Working capital for case costs and payroll — no minimum credit score on many programs. Line of credit to draw on as cases require and repay as fees arrive. A no-cost advisor finds your best fit.
