Who We Help
For Law Firms & Advocates
When a client has a strong claim but cannot fund the pursuit, the matter dies and the firm loses the brief. Third-party funding changes that: Fund My Case contracts with the claimant, funds the litigation for eligible matters, and counsel are paid brief fees in the ordinary course, independence intact, conduct rules respected, no fee-sharing.
Executive Summary
Every disputes practice knows the pattern: a meritorious claim, a client who cannot sustain the cost, a file that closes. Funding converts that dead file into a live matter.
The structure is deliberately conservative. The funding agreement is with the claimant, not the firm. There is no commission, no referral fee, no fee-sharing, because professional conduct rules do not permit them, and the model does not need them.
How a referral works
- 1
Identify the matter
A documented, high-value claim where cost is the barrier to pursuit.
- 2
Client applies
The claimant runs the eligibility assessment, the funding relationship is theirs.
- 3
Assessment & diligence
Merits, recoverability and counterparty capacity are underwritten independently.
- 4
Funding decision
Eligible matters are funded; the client litigates instead of walking away.
- 5
Counsel proceeds
Advocates are paid brief fees in the ordinary course; professional duties are unchanged.
Matters worth referring
- High-value civil or commercial claims with strong documents
- Clients abandoning good claims over cost
- Arbitration matters and award enforcement
- Recovery suits where the counterparty can pay
- Cross-border claims needing sustained pursuit
Frequently asked questions
Is there a referral fee? ▾
No. Professional conduct rules do not permit fee-sharing with advocates, and the model does not rely on it. The benefit to the firm is that fundable matters proceed instead of dying.
Does funding interfere with my conduct of the matter? ▾
No. Advocates' professional duties run to the client and the court. Funding is a financial arrangement with the claimant.
Who engages counsel on funded matters? ▾
The client. Empanelment and matter-matching are coordination arrangements; independence is preserved.
What should I send for a quick view? ▾
A claim summary, key documents and the counterparty's details, or have the client complete the eligibility assessment directly.
