Introducing peer-to-peer litigation funding
Lawyer-to-lawyer litigation funding
Traditional litigation funding companies loan money at high rates of interest or for a significant share of the recovery. But they only accept about 5% of funding requests.
With Lawyers Fund, trial lawyers who need funding can connect directly with trial lawyers who offer funding.
Connect and grow your business
Trial lawyers with funds to loan can connect and provide funding with interest or enter into fee-sharing agreements with the trial lawyer who needs funding.
Whether your client needs living expenses or you need funding to bring your case to trial, connect with other lawyers who can help.
A lawyer anonymously posts basic funding request such as type of case, funding need and location of case.
A lawyer interested in funding that case can contact the lawyer to discuss a funding or fee-sharing arrangement.
The arrangement can include loaning money at a legal interest rate just as funding companies do or include a fee splitting arrangement.
Example: A lawyer with a funding need can post a simple request such as, “I have a defamation case in Louisiana I need help with. Need funds for experts and depos. Contact for more details.”
Trial lawyers who need funding or want to fund other trial lawyer’s cases.
This is a new way to get funding for your cases.
Lawyers Fund connects trial lawyers who have a funding need with other trial lawyers who have funds to lend.
Lawyers can charge interest or enter into fee-sharing arrangements on mutually agreeable terms. Whatever works for them and their clients.
Lawyers Fund is a new and innovative approach to litigation funding by keeping the money “in-house” and within the trial lawyer community.
Yes since you are in control of what you disclose.
Your identity is not disclosed until you actually connect with another lawyer to discuss your case.

Yes. Lawyers Fund is a platform that connects trial lawyers to solve the litigation funding problem.
Traditional litigation funding where interest is charged on the loan is generally regulated by each state’s interest rate (usury) laws and the applicable state bar rules.
Because lawyers routinely work on cases together sharing fees, costs and effort, it is a natural progression to provide a platform for trial lawyers to connect do this at scale.
Lawyers can loan money at interest within the limits of their state’s laws and/or share attorney fees just as they typically would do on cases where multiple firms work on a case.
Lawyers Fund was created by a plaintiff’s lawyer who loves working on tech solutions for lawyers.
