Grow your practice, grow your income streams
Lawyers Fund is the first-of-its kind platform that connects lawyers who want to invest in other lawyers’ cases with trial lawyers who need funding.
Our peer-to-peer litigation funding concept is aimed at disrupting the burgeoning litigation funding industry by allowing trial lawyers to be the ones who are providing the funding — and gaining the profits.
You know how trials work better than anybody and you’ve had many important victories.
Take that expertise and create new income streams by funding other cases.
And growing each year
Lawyers are turning to litigation funding to grow their business and the industry is growing quickly
Since 2017
By traditional funding companies
“Increased acceptance and use of TPLF. All the commercial funders we interviewed said there had been an increased acceptance of litigation financing in recent years.
Funders said increased acceptance had resulted in the use of TPLF by new parties, such as law firms and corporations and, according to one funder, an appetite for new and innovative funding agreement structures.
For example, data we collected from three funders showed a shift from single-case agreements towards portfolio financing over the last 5 years.
Specifically, portfolio agreements comprised about 39 percent of all new agreements in 2021, compared to about 19 percent in 2017.
In addition, the proportion of total capital provided through portfolio agreements grew from 28 percent ($28 million of $101 million) in 2017 to 51 percent ($124 million of $240 million) in 2021.
Similarly, Westfleet Advisors reported that in 2021, 59 percent of new capital commitments for the funders that provided data went to portfolio agreements.”
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.
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.”
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.
