Compliance Legal Financing

Backed by ABA Formal Opinion 484

On November 27, 2018, the American Bar Association issued Formal Opinion 484, confirming that "lawyers may participate in fee financing arrangements" with third-party finance companies, provided they comply with Model Rules 1.5, 1.7, and 1.8(a). CaseFunders is built around those rules — so you can offer financing with confidence.

  • ✓ Third-party lender — no fronting capital, no default risk to your firm
  • ✓ No recourse, no clawbacks — once funded, your fees are yours
  • ✓ Trust-account-compatible workflow with full disclosure to client
  • ✓ Not litigation finance — we don't take an interest in the case

The Problem

Affordability Shouldn't Cost You the Case

Law firms lose qualified clients every day — not because of skill, but because clients can't pay upfront. Three common patterns drain revenue and growth.

🤝

Consultations that don't convert

Qualified clients walk out of intake because they can't cover the retainer right now — even when they need your help and want to hire you.

Unpaid invoices stall cash flow

Chasing overdue invoices drains your staff's time and strains client relationships — while your firm waits to collect money it has already earned.

📉

In-house payment plans create risk

Offering payment plans from your own accounts means fronting costs and absorbing default risk. Most firms avoid it — and lose clients as a result.

How It Works

From Intake to Funded in Minutes

FAQ

Common Questions

The questions attorneys actually ask before getting started.

What is CaseFunders? +

CaseFunders is a legal fee financing and payment platform for law firms. It helps firms offer clients a way to pay legal fees over time while the firm receives the approved payment amount upfront after funding.

CaseFunders is designed for retainers, invoices, and ongoing legal fees. It is not litigation finance, pre-settlement funding, or a case-investment product.

Is CaseFunders a lender? +

No. CaseFunders is not a lender and does not make credit decisions.

CaseFunders connects clients with participating third-party financing providers. Available options, approval decisions, repayment terms, APRs, fees, and funding timelines are determined by the provider and the client's qualifications.

Is this the same as litigation finance or pre-settlement funding? +

No. CaseFunders does not invest in cases, buy settlement proceeds, advance money against a future recovery, or take a percentage of the case outcome.

CaseFunders helps clients access payment options for legal fees, including retainers and invoices. The client's repayment obligation is separate from the outcome of the legal matter.

How does my firm get paid? +

The attorney starts a request, and the client completes the financing application through a secure link or client-facing flow. If the client is approved, accepts an available option, and the transaction funds, your firm receives the approved payment amount upfront.

Funding timelines vary by provider, bank, and transaction details, but eligible transactions may fund as soon as the next business day after approval and completion.

What happens if the client stops making payments? +

Nothing happens to your firm. Once the loan is funded and the proceeds are deposited into your account, those funds are yours — no clawbacks, no recourse, no collections calls. The lender bears the credit risk, not you.

This is the fundamental difference between CaseFunders and an in-house payment plan where you absorb the default risk yourself.

Does checking options affect the client's credit? +

Checking available options is designed to have no impact on the client's credit score. If the client chooses to move forward with a financing option, the provider may require additional verification, and accepting final terms may affect credit depending on the provider's policies.

The client will see the applicable provider terms before accepting an offer.

What does CaseFunders cost the law firm? +

CaseFunders has no setup fee, no monthly platform fee, and no annual contract.

For client financing, the firm pays a 3% CaseFunders platform fee only when a client financing transaction successfully funds. CaseFunders does not charge the client a separate CaseFunders fee. Client-facing repayment terms, including APR, monthly payment, and repayment period, are disclosed by the financing provider.

Stop Losing Cases to Affordability.

CaseFunders is free to set up, takes minutes to deploy, and starts converting more consultations into retained clients from day one.
