Claim Monetization
Investing in the success of law firms and companies with monetization.
Baker Street Funding, a trusted financier to sophisticated law firms, individuals, and companies, is one of the most developed monetization litigation financiers in the United States. Even though litigators have more options than ever to finance their litigations today, Baker Street Funding stands out as a provider of these financing solutions.
Litigation funding is a tool that allows litigants to reduce the direct expense of pursuing meritorious claims for adjudication. With financing, cases no longer have to be discarded or resolved at unfairly low valuations due to a lack of funds, but can instead be pursued on their merits for the best possible outcome. Baker Street Funding will quickly monetize pending claims or judgment awards that are being reviewed by an appeals court. Before a final settlement, our claim monetization could allow you to offset and distribute exposure.

What is monetization?
As the name suggests, monetization is essentially the transition of a portion of a pending claim into cash, with a legal finance provider effectively advancing capital that would otherwise be locked before the claim in question is resolved and paid. Pending claims often reflect enormous latent value to the company. Unfortunately, they are fraught with ambiguity in terms of both result and timing—and because they are highly illiquid, conventional capital sources have traditionally been unable to allocate asset value to them. Baker Street Funding has experience and expertise in evaluating the value of legal assets, we assist businesses in unlocking value by monetization.

How monetization helps.
Pursuing claims can be a lucrative form of funds for many law firms. The problem, of course, is that contingency fee agreements are often regarded as too risky for businesses that rely on a consistent stream of revenue. Many companies and law firms are now turning to litigation finance through Baker Street Funding to gain experience in taking cases on contingency.
Maximize profit
Law firms can increase profit and create more value for their clients by using litigation financing.
Expedite access to capital
We will provide you with upfront capital to eliminate the need to wait for your pending claims to be resolved. Get instant liquidity that can be used for almost any business purpose.
Fund without risk
And, since the money is usually issued on a non-recourse basis, you are only obligated to repay the investment if the matter is successfully resolved.
Work more effectively
Unlike fees and expenses funding, which allows money to flow from the finance company to lawyers when costs are accrued incrementally, we will provide you with monetization capital in a lump sum upon acquisition so it can be redirected to support defensive positions in the legal department—or a corporate intent.

For companies
Following an effective legal proceeding, cash flow will become a major problem for both law firms, and claimants as more gaps in the realization of any award occur. Baker Street Funding will alleviate cash flow pressures with a variety of financing options that provide cash quickly while mitigating compliance risk. Structured finance plans for payment of interest or capital financing for a company and other costs not directly relevant to the conflict are examples of these.
For example, an applicant whose business has been financially harmed as a result of the defendant’s actions during the litigation may obtain funding to help rehabilitate or start a new business. We may consider such funding arrangements, with our return protected by the litigation proceeds or other assets of the claimant’s company.
For law firms
We also provide customized monetization strategies for law firms that reduce collection pressure, support long-term cash flow, and expand revenue opportunities. Where class actions are being sought, these monetization options relieve law firms and plaintiffs of the burden of liability and allow for negotiated settlement payments. Monetization is an effective way for a big funder like Baker Street Funding to put money to work since it would be almost impossible to spend amounts that large solely through the payment of attorney’s fees.
Why use claim monetization?
Businesses of all sizes are turning to litigation finance to improve their balance sheets and redirect capital to invest in growth due to tackling unprecedented events. Claimants and law firms that are seeking to initiate litigation can discover that they need to reap the full benefits of their claim before the final hearing, whether to relieve cash-flow stress otherwise or to provide operating finance throughout the claim’s existence. Baker Street Funding moves in to provide monetization litigation finance options during these difficult times.
