“The majority of the attorneys that we talk to understand that funding their clients’ case costs is the least effective use of their funds," commented Britton J. Holland, President of LitCap. "But until now lawyers have not had a product that is as flexible and well suited for their practice as LitCap. Lawyers can now use their revenue much more efficiently and effectively without worrying if they can afford to finance the next case that comes through the door.”

“Lawyers have been financing their contingent cases the same way for decades, just as it was done when Abraham Lincoln was trying cases, before the telegram, before the car, and before electricity or the internet, remarked Mr. Plummer. "Furthermore, having a platform that mitigates the ability for the big guy to outspend the little guy in litigation, truly brings balance to the civil justice system in the United States. It circumvents the inherent conflict between a lawyer and his contingent client and directly benefits the State Bar IOLTA program in every state where LitCap is used. We believe that LitCap is to case cost financing what Westlaw and Lexis Nexus were to legal research.”
About LitCap:
LitCap is a marketplace where preeminent attorneys obtain financing for case related expenses from qualified investors.
At LitCap we believe that your case cost financing should function exactly the same way your contingent fee agreement works with your client. If you are successful you repay the debt, if you are not successful the debt may be forgiven. When your business is contingent based your financing should be also. With LitCap, no periodic or monthly repayments are required. Lawyers repay the loan at the end of their client’s case if the case is resolved successfully.
