At Advocate Capital, we often discuss how our case expense funding helps law firms grow, stabilize cash flow, and invest confidently in litigation. But another critical benefit is even more important: how our funding ultimately helps your clients.
Greater Access to Justice
Contingency-fee law firms make justice accessible for many people who cannot afford legal representation out of pocket. When law firms use their own funds to cover case costs, they may have to limit the number or type of cases they can take on, especially high-cost or complex cases.
Case expense funding gives firms the financial freedom to say "yes" to more clients, including those whose cases require significant investment up front. That means more people can access quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.
Stronger Case Development
Expert witnesses, accident reconstructionists, focus groups, medical evaluations, and high-end trial graphics are often essential to building a strong case, but they come at a cost. When firms are hesitant to spend due to financial strain, cases may not receive the full range of resources needed to achieve the best possible result.
With Advocate Capital's funding solution, firms don't have to choose between preserving capital and pursuing justice. They can confidently invest in the right tools and expertise to present a compelling case in court or at the settlement table.
Faster Case Progression
When case expenses rely on a firm's capital, cash flow delays can slow the litigation process. A lack of immediate funds might delay expert reports, depositions, or trial preparation.
Case expense financing helps keep things moving. By ensuring critical expense coverage without delay, law firms can reduce bottlenecks, avoid unnecessary case extensions, and move closer to resolution more efficiently.
Peace of Mind for Clients
Clients trust their legal team to fight for their best interests, but also want to know that their firm has the resources to do so effectively. When clients see their attorneys invest in the best experts, pursue aggressive discovery, and bring a case to trial if needed, it reinforces trust and confidence in their representation.
Using Advocate Capital's case expense funding, firms can demonstrate strength, readiness, and dedication from start to finish.
Ethical Cost Transparency
Advocate Capital offers a sample fee agreement language that allows law firms to transparently include financing costs as part of the reimbursable case expenses. This not only helps the firm recover its actual out-of-pocket expenses; it also keeps clients fully informed.
Funding That Puts Clients First
Your law firm's mission is to serve your clients and achieve justice on their behalf. Advocate Capital's case expense funding is designed to support that mission. By strengthening your firm's financial position, we help you provide your clients with the best possible legal experience and outcome.
