Litigation Funding

The purpose behind offering this unique financing goes to offering an after the event solution to some risks that can have significant impact to a client. Events such as an accident or acts that have been caused by other parties that have resulted in significant financial impairment. This type of financing is subject to state of residency guidelines and as part of the early review, this facet will be discussed along with the unique questions applicable.

Direct funding to a plaintiff is subject to a thorough review and strong comments from an attorney that has been engaged to represent the injured party. Due to this, an additional part of the engagement process will include this attorney’s input in the review stage.

Such funding is available in pre-settlement stages, post-settlement, and appeal funding for those cases that make it to this point in the legal process.

Due to the sensitive nature of these requests, our privacy policy applies to the fullest. In the event that this approach does not provide the plaintiff funding against a specific matter, an alternate approach to funding the attorney directly is possible, subject to additional discussions and further review.
