Post-settlement funding for attorneys and their clients.

Post-settlement funding helps attorneys access their future receivables, which empowers them to make sure they are making sound financial and business decisions and not be handcuffed by an extended processing time of a settlement award. Attorneys can pay for the cost of new contingency cases that have come in as well as payroll and other business costs. Post-settlement financing acts as a lifeline for plaintiffs to gain access to liquidity that they otherwise could not get from a traditional financial institution. This allows them to catch up on past due bills as well as pay for any living expenses necessary.

What is post-settlement funding?
Achieving settlement in a personal injury lawsuit is seen as a big win by plaintiffs. Most attorneys know that while a settlement is a milestone, it is by no means the end of the road. Settlement payments sometimes take months or years to reach the plaintiff due to processing issues, liquidity problems, appeals, or even the settlement terms. In the meantime, the attorney must focus on other cases and manage their firms' day-to-day expenses. Plaintiffs also have costs, including rent or mortgages, utilities, and other daily living expenses that they might not be able to pay for.
Post-settlement funding is a way of leveraging the settlement award and fees that a client or attorney is entitled to by using it to secure an upfront cash advance that is paid back when the payment arrives. This is done by securing the funds with a third party lien on the settlement, which the attorney will then use to pay back the principal and agreed-upon rate of return when the funds arrive from the defendant. This type of funding is utilized by both attorneys and plaintiffs and is tailored towards each individual case and the estimated time of arrival of the settlement proceeds.
How post-settlement funding works?
The post-settlement financing process with Baker Street Funding is extremely simple and typically finalized inside of one business day. Once our underwriters review your case documents, including the fully executed settlement agreement, they will generate a contract for the client and attorney to sign. Once signed, we will execute that lien and distribute the funds by bank wire or certified check. We could release up to 50% of the award to the plaintiff or 50% of the fee to the attorney.
