FAQ FAQ

What Are The Risks?
According to the lawyer himself,
- If the lawyer does not utilize the funds for disbursements.
- Due to lawyer confidentiality obligations (which is called “attorney-client privilege”), the lawyer is unable to disclose any case information, including which files are funded by lenders or banks.
- Therefore, there is a multiple protection setup for lenders, explained in the next answer as to “How Are Lenders Protected?”
How Lenders Are Protected?
According to the lawyer himself:
- The Lawyer will only take on plaintiff cases that fit the following criteria as specified in the loan contract:
- The lawyers will only take on plaintiff cases, not defendants;
- Motor vehicle accident claim where there is insurance to pay the claim.
- Liability is not an issue.
- The claimant has a provable injury.
- The client is credible.
- The claim is anticipated to resolve within 6 Months of funding.
- The lawyer will personally guarantee the repayment of the loan in the loan contract.
- There is a firm wide ATE (After the Event) insurance policy covering the disbursement fund payout as specified in the contract! This is how low risk these files are – even insurance companies are willing to insure these cases!
- If the lawyer were to leave the practice of law for any reason, the loan shall be immediately repaid plus interest to date of repayment (if not already paid) as specified in the contract.
- If the lawyer were to become disabled, the loan shall be immediately repaid plus interest (if not already paid) as specified in the contract.
- If the lawyer were to die, the loan would be tied to the cases and could be tracked and repaid when settled; or the cases would be bought out by other lawyers in which case the disbursement fund payout could be immediate as specified in the contract.
- The cases belong to the lawyer, not the law firm; therefore, if he were to leave the law firm, they would go with him as specified in the contract.
What Does ATE Insurance Cover?
According to the lawyer himself, there is a firm wide ATE (After the Event) insurance policy covering the disbursement fund payout. This means if a case goes to trial (trial rarely happens because 99.9% of cases are settled before trial) and even if the awarded amount is $1, the ATE insurance company will pay out the full amount of disbursements the lawyer has spent on this case, which is the amount that we, as lenders, have lent out on this case. This is how low risk these files are – even ATE insurance companies are willing to insure these cases!
Why the Funds Are Deposited to Lawyer's Personal Account?
According to the lawyer himself, he does not need to profit-share with lenders if he uses individual lenders, whereas if he uses funds from the law firm which is funded by the bank, he needs to profit-share with the law firm when settlement occurs which reduces his profitability for every case.
Is There Any Withhold Tax?
This falls under commercial lending and is not subject to withholding tax.
Does the lawyer have any retirement plans in the near future?
According to the lawyer, retirement is at least 10+ years away.
Is Legal Lending Unsecured?
According to the lawyer, the collateral for these loans is the lawyer’s cases themselves, which is also covered by an ATE insurance company in addition to auto insurance company. The collateral consists of personal injury cases where the lawyer represents plaintiffs in car accident claims. While waiting for the insurance company to issue payouts, the lawyer needs to advance funds for medical reports and other expenses. The cases, which are expected to be paid by the insurance companies, serve as collateral. Additionally, industry-specific insurance providers issue coverage for disbursement funds
Are the Return Rates Adjustable?
If the participation amount reaches a certain threshold, there is room for a higher rate of return. Please contact us for more details.
