Exploring a Strategic Shift in How Contingency Law Firms Manage Case Costs

Contingency fee law firms often find themselves in the unusual position of covering the costs of their clients’ cases upfront. These expenses—medical experts, depositions, accident reconstructionist, and more—can quickly tie up tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in firm capital, often for years.

But does it have to be this way?

Case expense financing is a growing solution that allows law firms to shift the burden of case costs without compromising control or outcome. Rather than using operating funds or bank lines of credit, firms can access non-recourse financing—capital that is repaid only if the case settles successfully.

Why It Matters:

  • Improves cash flow and budgeting
  • Reduces risk tied to non-reimbursed expenses
  • Frees up capital for firm growth and marketing
  • Creates more access to expert services and litigation tools

This model is particularly valuable for smaller and mid-sized firms, or those seeking to scale without taking on additional debt or risk.
