 Legal funding is when a legal financing company provides you with a portion of your settlement in advance of your case settling or after it settles. Legal finance companies accept the risk that your litigation might not be successful, so your case is carefully examined to ensure your victory before approving you and making you an offer.

Risk-free lawsuit pre settlement loans  (legal finance) is a non-recourse financing agreement. Legal funding, also called lawsuit loans, are advances against your future settlement award and sometimes, judgments. Essentially, legal finance for plaintiffs are investments into the outcome of their lawsuit(s). A lawsuit loan or lawsuit financing is a transaction in which lawsuit settlement funding companies are advancing money to victims because underwriting strongly believes that their case is strong enough to win and pay the funds back while bringing many advantages to their financial situation.

The lawsuit finance process consists of the following:

• Plaintiffs apply online or by phone. ***You must be represented by an attorney. Your lawyer’s co-operation is critical.
• Then, we perform a rigorous analysis of legal merits and parties, the strength and length of your litigation, and the defendant’s ability to compensate. 
• Lastly, we set up a conference call with counsel. The quicker we have any relevant questions answered by the attorney in charge, the faster funds will be released upon approval.

The litigation funding process:

The litigation finance process is different from lawsuit financing and a lot more complex. This includes an in-depth analysis of a case or portfolio of cases (for attorneys). The underwriting time differs on every application. It can take as little as a week for procedurally mature cases and as long as two months for infancy cases.

Baker Street Funding’s initial review of your application is based on our initial phone call, where you will provide publicly available information about your client’s claim. If interest is expressed and depending on your client’s needs, we may require further documentation and a scheduled call with our underwriter. Based on that call/communication and documentation, our underwriter will make the ultimate funding decision. Most cases sent by attorneys get funded because attorneys usually send strong claims.

Our involvement as investors does not affect the attorney-client privilege. Multiple recent rulings in all matter of courts have upheld the fact that conversations with third party funding companies are protected by common interest doctrine and thus deemed privileged and confidential. You can rest assure that you are in no way waiving any of your legal rights to confidentiality by seeking funding.

Acquiring the funds you need also allows you to deal with the insurance company’s long settlement waiting period. Whether it is employment discrimination or a wrongful imprisonment case or a wrongful death claim, a lawsuit loan many times helps victims settle for a larger settlement award. Lawsuit financing helps victims challenge insurance’s low-ball offers. A lawsuit loan, aka pre settlement lawsuit funding, can help you say no to the defendant so you can support yourself in the time being while your case goes to trial or you finally get the settlement you deserve.
