Easy Access to Working Capital

California Attorney Lending can provide you fast and easy access to litigation financing when you need it. Because we value your contingent fees as assets, our law firm loans are significantly larger than those from a bank and have much more flexible terms.

Advantages Over Other Lenders

Our four-year, flexible law firm loans have given litigators across the country the financial power they need to avoid premature settlements and take on bigger cases. Our law firm loans can help with operations, improve the value of your existing portfolio of cases and enable your firm to enter into new litigation.

Unlike traditional bank loans, which limit attorney funding to the value of your personal assets, California Attorney Lending can offer your firm a law firm loan based on the total value of your contingent-fee cases.

Launch

Resources to start your own law firm

Opening a new practice is expensive. Before you even generate any fees, you have substantial costs associated with incorporating, rent, payroll, advertising and prosecuting your firm's contingent litigation. California Attorney Lending can provide you with the financing and resources you need to launch your new firm.

Startup

Market

Funding for advertising

Increasingly, plaintiffs’ firms need to advertise in order to obtain clients in the extremely competitive legal industry. Marketing is a substantial investment, but it is a necessary tool for any law practice. California Attorney Lending provides you with the financing resources you need to successfully market your firm.

Litigate

Funding for case expenses

Filing fees, depositions, experts, travel and trial preparation are just some of the expenses plaintiffs’ firms must cover. Financing from California Attorney Lending provides your firm with access to the funds you need to obtain the best result for you and your client.

Operate

Resources for operating expenses

The timing of law firm fees can be unpredictable—resulting in significant peaks and valleys in your cash flow. Conversely, your overhead expenses need to be covered on a regular and consistent basis. A loan, line of credit or non-recourse advance from California Attorney Lending provides your firm with cash flow stability during payment valleys to ensure you can meet your firm’s obligations as they come due.

Expand

Funding for growth

Increasing the size of your staff, the geographic area you serve and the number of clients you represent is challenging for a contingent-fee practice. Each new lawsuit you file as a result of your growth also increases the financial burden on your firm. A credit line from California Attorney Lending provides your firm with the comfort of knowing you have the capital necessary to fund your expansion.
