Disbursement Funding
We understand that large case-related costs can put pressure on a firm’s cashflow. That’s why we help law practices access flexible disbursement funding, giving you the ability to cover case expenses upfront without impacting your day-to-day operations.
Flexible Disbursement Funding for Law Practices
Let’s Talk
We work with lenders who understand the legal sector and can provide tailored funding for:
-
Expert reports and investigations – cover the costs of case-critical research and analysis.
-
Court and tribunal fees – pay filing, hearing, or tribunal fees without impacting cashflow.
-
Travel and accommodation – fund necessary travel or lodging for cases efficiently.
-
Medical and specialist assessments – access funds for client or expert assessments as required.
-
Multiple case management – manage several cases simultaneously without tying up working capital.
Disbursement funding provides flexibility, control, and peace of mind, allowing your firm to manage case costs effectively while focusing on achieving the best outcomes for your clients.
Are you ready to improve your financial stability?
With continued pressures on business cashflow, many in the legal sector predict a significant failure rate in legal practices. This predication has unnerved many in the sector - not least insurers and lenders - which has made it more difficult for firms to secure Professional Indemnity Insurance cover and the means to pay for it.
With insurers and lenders likely to tighten acceptance criteria, it has never been more essential to find ways to effectively evidence your firm’s approach to financial management. Doing so will not only offer third parties (and your management team) a better understanding of your firm's approach to finance; it can also help you to improve your processes and procedures in order to ensure long-term financial stability.
It takes only 5 minutes to complete, but can offer a set of essential insights that could change how your firm manages its finances. You’ll be presented with a series of yes/no questions, and won’t be asked to provide any sensitive financial information. Our model will then clearly outline what is going well for your firm, and identify areas for improvement.
