Alliance Litigation Funding Blog

Litigation funding (also called "legal financing" or "lawsuit loans") provides cash to plaintiffs and law firms during ongoing lawsuits. Unlike traditional loans, this funding is non-recourse—meaning you only repay if you win your case.

In this guide, you’ll learn:
✅ How litigation funding works
✅ Who qualifies (and who doesn’t)
✅ Costs, pros & cons
✅ How to apply & get approved fast

1. What Is Litigation Funding?

Litigation funding is a financial tool where a third-party investor (like Alliance Litigation Funding) provides cash upfront to plaintiffs or attorneys in exchange for a portion of the future settlement or judgment.

Key Features:

✔ Non-Recourse: No repayment if you lose the case
✔ Fast Funding: Get cash in as little as 24 hours
✔ No Credit Checks: Approval depends on case strength

Example:
A personal injury plaintiff needs $50,000 for medical bills while waiting for a settlement. A litigation funder advances the money, repaid only if the case wins.

3. Who Qualifies for Litigation Funding?

Best Candidates:
✔ Strong liability evidence (e.g., clear negligence)
✔ High potential damages (usually $100K+)
✔ Experienced legal representation

Common Cases We Fund:
🔹 Personal Injury (car accidents, medical malpractice)
🔹 Employment Law (wrongful termination, discrimination)
🔹 Commercial Disputes (breach of contract, fraud)
🔹 Intellectual Property (patent infringement)

Cases That Rarely Qualify:
❌ Frivolous lawsuits (weak evidence)
❌ Small claims (under $50K expected payout)
❌ Criminal cases
