Why law firms partner with us
Lawyers on the forefront have discovered that the best way to expand their practices is through legal financing. Through direct lending, we help enable lawyers around the country to act more strategically in growing their practices and more decisively in advocating for their clients.

SELF-FINANCE WITH PARTNERS’ CAPITAL
Although this is still the most common way that law firms sustain themselves, it requires the shareholders to retain personal capital in the law firm that could be invested elsewhere. It is also substantially less tax-advantageous than utilizing debt efficiently through direct lending.
SALE OF EQUITY TO OTHER LAW FIRMS
Some law firms will sell equity in their cases to co-counsel in exchange for short-term financing. These types of arrangements are often the least advantageous to the long-term interests of their shareholders, since the cost of capital of co-counsel financing is substantially higher than obtaining debt through a tax-efficient loan product.
COMMERCIAL BANK LOANS
Because this option is usually limited to larger law firms with real property assets, the majority of law firms will likely find that commercial banks will not approve a loan at the size and scale required to broaden their practices. Many law firms will also find that the monthly debt service provisions of most commercial bank loans do not match their business models.
SPECIALTY FINANCE COMPANIES
A highly unfavorable lending vehicle, these are often the last resort for law firms who are unable to secure adequate lending through other vehicles. Specialty finance companies often provide expensive capital and require highly unfavorable repayment terms.

Our flexible investments allow law firms to operate efficiently and grow via the following:
INCREASED MARKETING SPEND
Prospective clients are more likely to seek legal advice from the law firms they recognize. Many of our law firm partners utilize our capital to launch marketing campaigns designed to increase brand recognition and loyalty within the communities they serve. By launching strategic marketing campaigns through print, televised and digital media, law firms may significantly increase their revenues through enhanced client recognition and interest.
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Our capital enables law firms to compete in today’s legal market by utilizing operational efficiency to provide best-in-class legal services on behalf of their clients. Our law firm partners often utilize our capital to hire exceptional attorneys and support staff to address increased client demands. Our law firm partners may also utilize our capital to invest in premium operational infrastructure, such as case management programs, docketing software, legal research databases and e-discovery platforms.
ENHANCED TRIAL PRESENTATION
When our law firm partners are at trial, they have one objective: to win at all costs. Trial presents countless uncertainties, and our law firm partners understand the value of an exceptional trial presentation, regardless of cost. With our capital, our law firm partners utilize the best trial preparation resources available to them. This includes the retention of skilled expert witnesses, jury research consultants, and trial graphics vendors.
GEOGRAPHIC EXPANSION
One of the best ways for law firms to increase their revenue is to go where the work is. Some of our law firm partners utilize our capital to relocate to communities where there is higher demand for their specific expertise. Others will utilize our capital to expand their existing practices by venturing into new markets through satellite offices or joint venturing with co-counsel in underserved markets where existing demand for legal services has been identified.
ENHANCED CASH FLOW MANAGEMENT
Our goal is to enable our law firm partners to devote their time and energy to successful advocacy for their clients. In other words, we want the lawyers we partner with to worry about their clients’ claims –not their firms’ cashflow. To realize this objective, we work with our law firm partners to develop customized financing plans to enable the firm to pay off its existing debts, cover overhead and increase partner profits.

CONFIDENTIALITY
Confidentiality is exceptionally important to us. We are committed to safeguarding any nonpublic information that is provided to us by our law firm partners, including any confidential business or personal information related to the firm, its lawyers or its clients. We utilize physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to ensure the non-disclosure of all confidential or sensitive information obtained from any source.
PRESERVATION OF ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE
We understand the critical importance of preserving the confidentiality of any-and-all communications exchanged between attorneys and their clients. We also understand the importance of protecting from discovery any materials prepared by an attorney in anticipation of litigation. As such, we work closely with our law firm partners to ensure privileges and protections are never waived during our collaboration.
LAW FIRM SOVEREIGNTY AND INDEPENDENCE
The lawyers who receive our financing are in the best position to advocate on behalf of their clients’ best interests. Because we have implemented robust underwriting procedures on the front end, we do not micromanage the collateral litigations of the law firms we finance. We will never require our partners to obtain our input or approvals at any phase of the cases they manage, including in settlement discussions or at trial.
COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
We take pride in our collaborative approach to problem solving with the law firms we finance and the lawyers we work with. We utilize our backgrounds in litigation and finance to help our partners achieve their business goals and pursue their clients’ objectives. We enjoy working with the law firms we finance and are as “hands-on” or as “hands-off” as our law firm partners need us to be.
