Innovative finance solutions that drive progress
In the UK, solicitors often seek litigation funding in various areas of the law. As a solicitor, you understand the complexities of managing a high volume of claims, where the legal framework for settlements or orders can be a lengthy process. However, navigating the financial strain that comes with delayed disbursement recoveries can limit your firm’s growth and operational efficiency.
What can we do to help?
At Christopher Finance, we recognise the challenges your firm faces in managing cash flow, particularly when disbursements and Work-in-Progress (WIP) are only refunded upon claim completion. That’s why we provide bespoke finance solutions that alleviate these pressures, allowing you to focus on what matters most – delivering exceptional legal services to your clients.
Our structured approach to litigation finance offers your firm the flexibility and support needed to thrive in various sectors such as Housing Disrepair and other. By partnering with Christopher Finance, you can unlock new opportunities for growth while ensuring your clients receive the just ice they deserve.
A straightforward solution
Our finance solutions can be tailored to suit any litigation funding type, providing a dedicated facility for each case litigated. This facility allows solicitors to draw down funds for approved disbursements during the claim period, with repayments only due upon case settlement. Additionally, our C-Pound facility ensures you have access to funds post-damages settlement while awaiting payment on costs, allowing you to refinance viable settled matters seamlessly.
We partner with solicitor firms with proven market track records. Lending is conducted via business-to-business commercial contracts, with firms approved based on specific criteria, including UK AML compliance checks.
Flexibility is everything
We understand the intricacies of for example the Housing Disrepair claim process. From identifying and reporting issues to the landlord, through to potential court proceedings, our financial products are designed to support your firm every step of the way.
Christopher Finance offers flexible financing terms to suit your firm’s needs. Cases are financed for up to 24 months, with repayment due at the earliest of 24 months from the first drawdown, or upon costs payment by the Defendant. Drawdowns are available at any point within this period, with discounting fees and costs agreed upon upfront and payable in full upon case settlement.
