Contingency financing provides your firm with cash flow,
thereby freeing you from the worries of day to day practice expenses and
allowing you to concentrate on what you are best at, representing your clients.
While it can be argued that the loans are outrageously
expensive, the question has to be asked, "as compared to what?"
Many small firms, maybe you can relate, tend to max out
several credit cards to offset the costs of contingency representation, paying
double digit interest, late fees and monthly payments that could be better used
for keeping things afloat.
The money provided, by contingency funders, is only
secured by your caseload and nothing else. Of course, with this kind of
extreme risk, there goes a higher price tag.
A firm that is well capitalized can stick their nose up at
this type of financing but the smaller law firms, struggling to meet the daily
expenses of their contingent case loads, find that this might just be a
solution...if not permanently, at least until they reach a point where cash flow
isn't such a problem.
Contingent capital providers are quick to point out that
their loans aren't loans in the normal sense of the word and that they face
risks much more akin to venture capitalists than bankers.
Most of the contingency capitalists lend on a non-recourse
basis, meaning that if you don't win your case, you don't have to repay the cash
advance.
