    “Appellate Attorney Lines of Credit” – a Less Expensive Option to “No Risk” Appellate Attorney Funding

    Appellate Attorney Lines of Credit are across the board a far less expensive option than “No Risk” Appellate Attorney funding, especially when paying interest becomes a sensitive issue, which currently averages 1.5-3% per month. While attorney lines of credit prove to be more challenging to qualify for, the benefits of such a program delivers results nothing short of an incredible. With the open line of credit always available, law firms who leverage such an opportunity find the business of operating a law practice far more enjoyable when a cash flow explosion occurs and provides the freedom of focusing on the practice of law rather than “keeping the lights on” when case resolution is very unpredictable and at times lengthy.

    Despite legal delays leveraged by the insurance industry across the board to their advantage, successful law firms must meet operational expenses and financial challenges irregardless of receivables collected. With the attorney line of credit in place, law firms then utilize and leverage a very powerful non-traditional “asset” which traditional lending sources rarely recognize. With an Appellate Attorney Line of Credit establishment, an awesome opportunity for converting “tomorrow's possibility into today’s certainty” changes the way a law practice is operated, clearly for the better. With the economic advantage of leveraging contingent fees, firms who opt for such a recourse raise capital and increase cash flow immediately. To what extent you ask? While there are no definitive answers, however, lines of credit are made available for partners to spend in any manner the practice chooses to do so. The only limitations of lien funding comes from;

    Status of the cases in a portfolio
    The amount of cases in the portfolio
    The value of such a portfolio
    The credit of the principle law partners

    Lines of credit include like any amortized trade line, monthly payments, which provide a “good faith” gesture on the part of the borrower in building a powerful tradeline relationship. While law firms secure low interest lines of credit, investors under no circumstances interfere with a law firm’s management of cases secured. Instead of interfering with legal case management, business operations, or any other facet of legal management, investors act as “silent partner venture capitalists” who through provide an effective "financial bridge" between today and tomorrow. When a leveraged case, securing the attorney line of credit is released by a settlement agreement, which receives distribution of proceeds, all collection rights thereafter are relinquished. With the unlimited capital resources available, firms who utilize this “financial vehicle” enjoy the fiscal freedom of nothing less than a cash flow torrent.
