Key Benefits of Bridgehead’s
Contingency Fee Financing
Plaintiff firms often incur substantial upfront costs when preparing for trial. Bridgehead’s bridge financing helps firms cover:
- Maintain Predictable Cash Flow
- Interest-only payments allow you to preserve your operating capital. Principal repayment aligns with your fee collections, so you never drain reserves mid-case.
- True Non-Recourse Structure
- Advances are secured solely by your contingency-fee receivables. If fee collections lag or underperform, you owe nothing beyond the agreed holdback and fees.
- Transparent, Competitive Rates
- We disclose our advance rate, holdback schedule, and any fees in your proposal. No hidden costs, no surprises, and no penalties for early payoff.
- Litigator-Led Underwriting
- Our team of former plaintiffs’ attorneys understands the nuances of fee agreements. We structure facilities that reflect your practice’s historic and projected receivables.
- Scalable Facility
- From boutique two-attorney shops to multi-office practices, we size your advance to match your case mix and cash-flow needs, and streamline follow-on draws as new fees accrue.
