* In most jurisdictions, a law firm can recover finance charges related to funding case expenses from case awards, but the compliance requirements can be too expensive to implement. Only Advocate Capital, Inc. has the proprietary AdvoTrac^® expense tracking system and service team that allows firms to easily comply with allocation and reporting requirements. So, for example, if a firm recovers at least 90% of its advanced case expenses, like most of our clients, the annual net cost of funds is very small-typically less than 1%.
