Preparing Your Law Firm for the Litigation Funding Process

A well-organized funding request can help make the initial evaluation more efficient. Before seeking litigation funding, law firms should be prepared to provide information that gives a prospective funder a clear understanding of the matters involved, the firm's financial objectives, and the anticipated need for capital. The specific information required will vary based on the circumstances of the firm and the proposed financing.

Consider having the following information readily available:

• Litigation portfolio: A current overview of the matters the firm is considering for financing, including the types of cases, number of matters, and relevant case characteristics.
• Case status and procedural history: Key information about where each matter stands, significant developments to date, upcoming milestones, and any known procedural considerations.
• Potential recoveries: Available information concerning damages, potential recoveries, settlement expectations, or other factors relevant to evaluating the economic potential of the matters.
• Existing and anticipated expenses: An understanding of litigation costs already incurred and expenses the firm expects to encounter, such as discovery, experts, depositions, trial preparation, or other case-related costs.
• Financial and operational needs: A clear explanation of how financing could support the firm's objectives, whether the need relates primarily to litigation expenses, working capital, or broader business requirements.

For firms with multiple matters, organizing this information across the portfolio can provide a clearer picture of the firm's overall financing requirements. It can also help distinguish between capital needed for particular litigation expenses and capital intended to support broader operational objectives.

Law firms should also consider which matters are most relevant to their financing goals and identify documentation that can substantiate key aspects of those matters. Depending on the proposed structure, additional information may be requested as part of the funder's due diligence process.

Preparing these materials does not guarantee approval or determine the terms of any potential financing. Instead, it gives Virage a stronger foundation for understanding the opportunity and discussing whether a funding structure may be appropriate. By approaching the initial conversation with relevant information organized in advance, law firms can help create a more focused and productive evaluation process.

What Happens After Initial Contact in the Litigation Funding Process?

Once a law firm contacts Virage, the litigation funding process begins with a focused initial review of the firm’s funding needs, case portfolio, and overall objectives. This first step helps determine fit and establishes the most efficient path for advancing toward a potential funding solution.

Litigation Funding Process Steps for Law Firms

If the matter moves forward in the law firm funding process, the typical stages include:

• Initial funding review: Assessment of the firm’s litigation portfolio and financing requirements
• Information request for due diligence: Collection of key case materials and supporting documentation
• Litigation finance due diligence: Review of case strength, structure, potential recovery, and portfolio characteristics
• Funding proposal and terms: Presentation of tailored litigation finance options and preliminary deal structure
• Final structuring of law firm funding: Refinement of terms based on firm goals and portfolio composition
• Closing and capital deployment: Execution of documentation and funding disbursement under the agreed structure

Each stage of the litigation funding approval process is designed to balance efficiency with a disciplined evaluation of the underlying matters.

From Litigation Funding Approval to Capital Deployment

Once due diligence is complete and litigation funding terms are finalized, documentation is executed, and capital is deployed in accordance with the approved structure. This allows law firms to apply funding toward litigation expenses, operational support, and strategic growth initiatives.
Virage maintains a streamlined litigation finance process that emphasizes clarity, responsiveness, and consistency from initial contact through funding approval and closing. The goal is to reduce friction in accessing law firm funding so attorneys can remain focused on advancing their cases and growing their practice.
