Catapulting your law firm from good to excellent may be an aspiration, but for Siegel & Coonerty, it became a reality once the New York-based personal injury firm unlocked its capital through case cost financing.

For contingency fee law firms, managing through the irregular cash flow cycles of cases is a constant balancing act – and even more challenging during times of high inflation. Adding weight to this issue is the prospect of  higher costs for case resources and expert testimony, and the potential for longer case duration before settlement.

To help mitigate the impact of this revolving cycle of feast and famine, smart money law firm owners are leveraging case cost financing to pay for the higher costs of expert services and case resources. Using credit is particularly helpful in leveling-out the peaks and valleys associated with the irregular cash flow of contingency fee work, as well the delayed payments associated with hourly work.

Where traditional sources tend to  hinder law firm growth, case cost financing provides a solution that leverages case inventory as collateral, leading to greater access to capital for law firms. This cost-effective path to increasing liquidity enables law firms to invest more in marketing, technology, and operations – initiatives that may increase the likelihood for catapulting your law firm into significant growth.

For Andrew Siegel, founding and senior litigating partner at Siegel & Coonerty, LLP, having access to capital has become a game changer – catapulting his law firm from being a really good law firm to an excellent one.
