When Speed and Capital Matter Most

Bridgehead’s Settled Case Advances help your firm:

  • Cover Payroll & Overhead: Keep your team and operations running smoothly.
  • Reinvest in New Cases: Take on promising matters without waiting for existing fees to clear.
  • Manage Growth After a Win: Fuel marketing, hiring, or infrastructure expansion while momentum is high.
  • Navigate Delays Without Strain: Avoid tapping into reserves while your settlement disburses.

Not All “Settled” Cases Are Equal

We do not fund judgments awarded at trial, as these can be subject to appeal, delay, or vacatur. Our focus is on settlements confirmed by documentation, clear agreements between litigating parties where a payment is imminent and enforceable.
