How Our Services Work
Equity Litigation Funding, LLC is not a bank or financing company that makes traditional “loans”. We simply buy a discounted assignment of future proceeds in a lawsuit which is completely dependent upon whether the Plaintiff recovers a settlement or a verdict in his or her favor at trial. There is no limitation on what the Plaintiff or law firm can do with the cash.

Once the Plaintiff recovers a settlement or verdict, Equity Litigation Funding, LLC is paid directly from the proceeds after the Plaintiff’s attorney and any costs or priority liens are paid. If the Plaintiff is unsuccessful, Equity Litigation Funding, LLC is owed nothing.

The Process
We have streamlined our process to make it simple and risk free to our applicants. There are no requirements for applicants to be employed and there is no credit check. The only matters that are verified are the strength of the lawsuit. The applicant first fills out and transmits the application and release of records forms to Equity Litigation Funding, LLC. The Plaintiff’s attorney also fills out a questionare and attaches requested documentation about the case for our review. Once all of the documentation is received, we usually make a decision on whether to fund the case within a 48 hour period.

If the decision is made to fund a case, the Plaintiff is contacted with the details of the funding offer. The Plaintiff will then have a certain period of time to either accept or reject the offer. Once the terms are agreed upon by the parties and the documents are executed, the funds are either wired or sent by overnight mail to the Plaintiff.

Our Fees
Just as the facts and circumstances of every case are different, our fees are based upon our analysis of the risk associated with the case and the length of time that the money is “out”. In most circumstances, we request a fee that is dependent upon the length of time from the advance to repayment. The applicable fee varies according to the risk assessment and the time involved. In certain circumstances we will consider taking a flat fee in exchange for monies advanced.

Regardless of what fee is applicable to a case, the Plaintiff knows up front what the repayment obligation will be depending on when the case is tried or settled. This information is explained clearly prior to the execution of any contract by the Plaintiff. Our goal is to provide cash to Plaintiffs during the course of litigation so that they can hold out for the settlement they deserve and not be forced to take a lower amount that is unfair. Again, if the Plaintiff does not recover, Equity Litigation Funding is repaid absolutely nothing!

Law Firm Advances
Law firms frequently advance large sums of money in order to prepare a Plaintiff's case for mediation or trial. These funds may be spent long before the Plaintiff is entitled to recover anything. Equity Litigation Funding can assist law firms and strengthen Plaintiffs' cases by advancing funds to the law firm.

The process for law firms seeking funding is very similar to that of the Plaintiff. That is, Equity Litigation Funding will provide cash advances to law firms in exchange for a security interest in an individual case or group of cases. The biggest difference between the two services is that for law firm advances, Equity Litigation Funding, LLC executes an agreement with the law as opposed to the Plaintiff.

The repayment obligation of the law firm is completely contingent upon the sucessful outcome of the case or cases in which Equity Litigation Funding, LLC takes its security interest. Because this option for law firms can involve one or more cases, Equity Litigation Funding, LLC is able to offer many creative solutions for the operating capital needs of law firms.
