Litigation Finance for Attorneys, Law Firms, and Plaintiffs
You have won the case - or settled it. The money is real, the outcome is clear.
What is not clear is when you will actually see it. RD Legal Funding closes that gap.

Settlements get reached. Judgments get entered. Fees get earned. Then the waiting begins. Insurance companies delay. Courts require approval periods. Defendants appeal. Structured payouts stretch over years. The legal system moves at its own pace - and operational expenses, payroll, and case costs do not wait for it.
For law firms, this creates a quiet but persistent cash flow problem that can limit growth, restrict hiring, and force firms to turn away new cases. For plaintiffs, it means the compensation they fought years to win remains out of reach when they need it most.
This is not a failure of the legal process. It is simply a timing mismatch - and it is exactly what litigation finance is designed to solve.
Litigation finance is a broad category. RD Legal Funding operates specifically at the post-settlement/judgment stage - the point at which a case has been resolved, a fee has been earned, or an award has been entered, but the money has not yet arrived. We provide immediate access to capital secured by the value of that existing legal award, settlement, or fee arrangement.
Unlike conventional loans, post-settlement/judgment funding is not tied to personal creditworthiness or monthly debt service.
RD Legal Funding has been a specialist in post-settlement/judgment legal receivables since 1998 - more than 25 years focused exclusively on this stage of the legal process. We evaluate the strength of the underlying legal position, not a credit score. We move at the pace that legal practice requires: days and weeks, not months.
RD Legal Funding specializes primarily in post-settlement/judgment funding, advancing capital once a case is resolved and a legal award, fee, or settlement is established. We work with three groups: law firms seeking advances on their earned fees or a credit facility backed by their receivables, and plaintiffs accessing their awards. Select the option that describes your situation.
You negotiated the settlement. The client is protected. The fee is legally yours. But court approvals, notice periods, appeals, or probate proceedings can delay payment by months — sometimes years.
RD Legal advances your earned contingency fees immediately, so you arenot financing the defendant's payment scheduleout of your own firm. The advance is repaid when proceeds arrive — not through monthly payments.
A settlement or judgment is a legal resolution — but a multi-year payment schedule may not feel like one. Whether you are waiting on lump-sum payout held up in court approval, an appeal, or a structured settlement, RD Legal can advance a portion of your award.
Our plaintiff funding isnon-recourse: if for any reason the settlement funds are not received, you owe nothing. We work directly with your attorney and the settlement administrator.
Your firm has settled or won cases and earned fees - but they have not been paid yet. Those receivables have real value, and RD Legal can structure a credit facility against them. This is not a conventional bank line of credit. It is a post-settlement/judgment financing tool built specifically for law firms whose most significant assets are legal receivables that traditional lenders do not know how to evaluate.
