Why leading firms partner with us
Funding that works alongside your practice
We’ve spent years listening to family and estate lawyers – and shaping our process around what you need most for the people who depend on you. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Focus on law, not cash flow
You went into law to practise law – not to chase invoices, negotiate payment plans, or quietly carry your clients’ cash flow. We pay approved invoices within 24 hours, so you can stop being a de facto lender and stay focused on the work that actually matters.
Run the case the way it should be run
You see it too often: a client who can’t afford to keep going, settling for less than they deserve – or stepping away from the matter entirely. With funding in place from day one, you can run the case the way you know it should be run, to a fair outcome rather than a forced one. Fewer write-downs. No interrupted service.
A team that understands the work
Our in-house team of legal experts is over 20 strong, with deep experience across family law, estates and loan management. When you work with us, you’re working with people who understand what it takes to run a matter properly – and the care, efficiency and understanding it deserves at every step.
- Our legal team is here to support you
Merits-based lending - no firm guarantees
We’re not a bank. Our in-house legal team assesses every application on the merits of the property settlement entitlements – looking beyond your client’s income, employment, or credit score. And we never ask your firm to guarantee or underwrite anything. Your practice stays your practice.
Tools built for how lawyers actually work
Software shouldn’t be the bottleneck – so we’ve built ours around your workflow, not ours.
