Corporate litigation funding.

Baker Street Funding helps navigate the waters of high profile corporate litigation funding, all the way to success. The expansion of the commercial litigation funding space has opened up a tremendous opportunity for plaintiffs and investors alike. At Baker Street Funding team of advisors, former litigators, and executives help investors, plaintiffs, and their attorneys navigate the waters of high profile corporate litigation while providing everyone with the tools needed for success.

For attorneys

For attorneys and their firms, institutional litigation financing provides a hedge against contingency fees and a way to help manage the cost of litigating a large corporate claim.

For companies.

Corporate litigation funding is for companies that hold substantial and meritorious claims but cannot bear the financial burden of pursuing those claims; litigation funding provides an effective way to eliminate the high capital outlay and risk of business litigation.

For investors.

For investors, institutional litigation funding provides a rare opportunity to invest in a negatively-correlated asset with high return potential and diversity.

Medical and surgery lien funding.

At Baker Street Funding, we provide surgical funding in connection with personal injury cases. All of our underwriters are former personal injury attorneys with extensive experience. They perform a quick review of the underlying facts surrounding the case and make a fast decision. With a quick response time and high speed of service, we regularly help personal injury victims receive the medical care they need ranging from minimally invasive surgeries to complex surgical procedures while strengthening the case.

Maximize the settlement.

We help attorneys maximize their client's settlement by providing plaintiffs with much-needed liquidity.

No risk for surgeons.

There is no risk for surgeons as they are directly paid in full pre-operation.

Pre-settlement attorney funding.

Pre-settlement legal funding may be the right option for an attorney who needs more capital to build a winning case or to litigate a long case to completion. With a funding advance, attorneys can afford to put more resources into the research, travel, and discovery needed to reach the most beneficial settlement. Like the pre-settlement funding option available to plaintiffs, this financing solution is available only before a case has been settled. The premium for pre-settlement funding is higher than that for other types of legal funding because there is a greater risk that a case will not be settled, and thus a greater risk that the advance will not be repaid.

Post-settlement attorney funding.

Attorneys fees can be delayed for a number of different reasons like administrative issues, appeals, or slow-paying defendants. You can facilitate your future fees with Baker Street Funding’s post-settlement attorney financing; we can provide a portion of your future receivables fast. We see your contingency fees as your most valuable asset, and we can provide more liquidity and quicker access to those fees than any traditional financial institution can.

Transform future fees to immediate cash.

Our post-settlement funding program is tailor-made for attorneys to gain early access to future collectible fees on settled claims.

Secure the capital you need.

We see contingency fees as the lifeblood of any legal practice and can provide you with financing arrangements that you can not get from any bank.

Get quick access to attorney post-settlement fees.

Our quick financing process is streamlined to provide you with immediate access to non-recourse financing. No monthly payments are required and repayment is done upon collection.

To illustrate how our process works, you can look at a mass tort focused firm that has settled 100 claims. The firms' combined fees are $2 million. Rather than wait to receive payment as settlement checks arrive, the firm can immediately access up to $1.6 million of those fees through our post-settlement funding program.

Voucher funding for attorneys

Baker Street Funding is often approached by attorneys appointed as public defenders (also known as indigent defense attorneys). These attorneys are on the state's payroll and receive their legal fees directly from the state that they practice in. Sometimes, when there are economic downturns or other financial issues that the state is subjected to, vouchers are used as a promissory note to pay past-due attorney fees. We have seen attorneys have to wait months to be able to redeem their vouchers. Our voucher funding program works similarly to our post-settlement funding agreements. Once a voucher has been issued to the attorney, he can contact us, and we will advance a portion of the vouchers face value. We will then be paid back from the state when they are able.

Attorneys line of credit.

Our attorney lines of credit function almost the same as you would see at your local bank branch. The critical difference with our attorney LOCs is that we can do more due diligence into your practice and thus can provide much larger lines than a bank usually can. Because our legal funding solutions were developed by attorneys, we are familiar with what it takes to run a successful contingency fee-based practice. As expected, as your client portfolio increases, so would your line of credit. We look at it from the perspective of your firm being a living breathing thing and our attorney lines of credit being the heartbeat that helps it grow. Our LOCs will increase in lockstep with your practice as it gets new clients and successfully litigates cases.

Plaintiff attorney legal funding: An option for your clients

Baker Street Funding provides litigation funding for attorneys and plaintiffs in both the pre and post-settlement timeline of a case. The two main types of plaintiff lawsuit funding are pre-settlement and post-settlement funding. As their names suggest, pre-settlement funding is available before a case has been settled, while post-settlement funding becomes an option after a settlement has been reached.

Plaintiff-attorney pre-settlement funding.

Pre-settlement funding for plaintiff clients: Most personal injury cases can take up to two years to settle and payout. When plaintiffs have exhausted all other financing options available to them, we recommend looking into plaintiff pre-settlement funding.
Cases are priced individually due to the risk: While the risk profile of any case could be high, cases that have yet to settle carry a large amount of risk. This is why the cost of pre-settlement funding is sometimes high and priced individually because of the inherent risk of the case not settling for any reason.
Get much-needed capital for your client at a fair price: Since our contracts are strictly non-recourse and based on the merits of the case, not the plaintiff's financial profile, through plaintiff funding, we can provide much-needed capital to individuals who may not be able to get financing otherwise.
Better rates: Attorneys who refer cases to Baker Street Funding will get simple interest rates and lower than other attorney loan companies.

Plaintiff-attorney post-settlement financing.

Short term bridge capital available to plaintiffs: Since settlements are typically not distributed immediately upon signing the settlement agreement, plaintiffs may see themselves in need of short term bridge capital. Baker Street Funding provides immediate cash for your client's needs.
Our settlement funding option could help your client: For plaintiffs in a tight financial situation, post-settlement funding may be an option. While the risk profile of a settled case is low, there is still a chance that the obligor does not pay, so we price our contracts appropriately and lower than other firms.
Flexible contracts and interest rates: Post settlement funding for plaintiffs through Baker Street Funding gives the plaintiff the flexibility to change the contract's rates and terms.
