The Commercial Litigation Financing Process

1. Call LawMax toll-free at 1-877-253-5531 or apply online. A LawMax Underwriter will immediately review your financing request.

2. LawMax will contact your attorney to request supporting documents. This documentation can be faxed, e-mailed or snail-mailed to us. When we receive hard-copy documents, they are scanned into our system, the originals are shredded, and the images are stored on secured servers.

3. If we determine that we will need outside counsel to evaluate your documentation and, therefore, there will be underwriting fees to cover these costs, we let you know how much the underwriting fees are, and you can decide at that point if you want to proceed with the process.

4. When your financing request is approved, we will send a Claim Investment Agreement to your attorney for his review. You sign the agreement and your attorney acknowledges our lien against your pending settlement.

5. Upon receipt of the executed agreement, we issue a check for your advance. If you wish, we can overnight the check to you.

6. The advance is your money to spend as you see fit, and there are no monthly payments during the pendency of your case.

7. Upon successful resolution of your claim, your attorney will pay back the advance, plus the accumulated risk premium on the advance, when he pays off any other lien holders.

8. Should you lose your case or fail to reach an out-of-court settlement, you owe us nothing!

Commercial litigation financing is not for every business involved in commercial litigation, so you need to determine if it makes sense for your enterprise.
