Why Law Firms Need Loans
Law firms often operate on uneven cash flow, especially those working on a contingency fee basis. A successful case might not translate into immediate financial gains due to delays in settlements or payments. Moreover, litigation costs, payroll, and operational expenses don’t wait for your cases to close. This is where law firm loans provide essential financial relief, allowing you to:
- Cover day-to-day expenses like rent, utilities, and payroll
- Fund litigation costs such as expert witnesses, discovery, and trial preparation
- Invest in expansion by hiring new staff or upgrading technology
- Maintain stability while waiting for settlement payouts in lengthy or complex cases
A loan offers the financial flexibility that a law firm needs to manage cash flow and seize growth opportunities.

How Law Firms Can Use Their Loan
A law firm loan from Amicus Capital Group provides the financial flexibility you need to manage both everyday and unexpected expenses. Here are some of the ways law firms can use our loan solutions:
1. Operational Costs
Running a law firm involves ongoing expenses, including rent, payroll, utilities, and office supplies. A law firm loan helps ensure that these essential costs are covered, even when cash flow is uneven.
2. Litigation Expenses
Legal cases often require significant upfront investments, including costs for expert witnesses, depositions, research, and travel. A law firm loan helps you cover these expenses, ensuring that you have the resources to effectively represent your clients.
3. Expansion
If your firm is looking to grow by adding new practice areas, hiring additional staff, or upgrading technology, a law firm loan can provide the capital you need to invest in your firm’s future.
4. Contingency Cases
Many law firms operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning that you may not see revenue until cases are resolved. A loan from Amicus Capital Group helps your firm maintain financial stability while waiting for settlements or verdicts to be paid out.
Successful trial attorneys focus on winning their cases – which is how it should be.
But too often, this focus on the meat of their work leads them to overlook an important business task: managing their money in a way that optimizes profitability and the availability of capital.
Without paying attention to this important detail, many contingency-fee attorneys end up endlessly tying up their profits in case of expenses, losing opportunities to run or expand their business with that capital.
Some attorneys even have to refer away potentially great new cases that they have the expertise to litigate because they don’t have the resources to fight a deep-pocketed defendant. In addition, since most money invested in case expenses are not deductible as a business expense the tax creates another drain on the law firm’s cash flow.
Until recently, trial lawyers didn’t have much choice about this. Traditional banks do not offer attorney loans secured by a future verdict or settlement profits – even if everyone agrees that you’re sure to receive the projected fee.
Without many other options, attorneys would settle into a cycle of collecting a big fee, then plowing most or all of it right back into the next case.
That money tied up in litigation represented a lost opportunity to meet day-to-day expenses; lower their tax burden; expand their business; take on more challenging cases, or invest in their own or their children’s future.
Amicus Capital Group, LLC offers a way out of this cycle.
Law Firm Loans
We offer law firm loans secured by your portfolio of cases, for four to five times more money than a traditional bank could offer. We have some of the most competitive interest rates in the litigation finance industry.
Because we’ve been in the legal finance and litigation finance business since 1999, we understand the ebb and flow of contingency work; typically we don’t expect you to make any principal payments on the principal balance until one or more of your cases are finished. And we offer services that complement your loans and simplify your administrative work, including structured settlements and structured attorney fees; tax advice; and investment management.
