You may ask yourself “why do I need the litigation funding services of Verum?” With that the answer is quite simple. Going to court and litigating can take years before a decision or a settlement is made. With all of the money that was used for experts, other lawyers, paralegals, filing paperwork, and many other costs is tied up in the case till the settlement and or case is settled. So needless to say that can be hard on any law firm. Be a sole practicer or a huge law firm.
It used to be the thought that litigation funding services were just needed for smaller plaintiffs that lacked the resources (financially that is)to go after the “big dogs” and if it was still 10 years ago this would still be the case. Now litigation financing is a huge business (a multi-billion dollar business) and is used by not just by small firms but now with the largest law firms in the nation. With that we know that the litigation funding firms are here to stay.
As of late litigation funding for defense has started to become a new option with litigation financing firms or brokers such as Verum. So how does it work? First the law firm, the finance company, and the client have to agree on what a successful outcome means. For example if the successful outcome in a bench trial is that the defense only has to pay 3 million on a 13 million lawsuit then the defense would have to pay the non-recourse advance back with the fees.
If it was a 4 million settlement on the 13 million lawsuit then the defense would not have to “give back” the non-recourse advance on the case. Of course the case that you bring to us would be completely different than the example above and would need to go to a group of underwriters to see what could be done but it is a new avenue that was not open before and is quickly becoming a new way to once again even the playing ground.
Is used to be thought that when getting the litigation funding services that is was to only be used for “litigation” and this is not the case. As of late we have seen it be used for growing a small firm into a large one or a large one growing into a bigger one. It has been used to hire more staff, business development, grow into a larger location, file more cases or even used to help market the firm to attract new clients. So when using a legal finance company (I.E. Verum Funding) it can be that the sky is the limit.
