Pre-settlement funding is designed to give plaintiffs financial breathing room during lengthy legal battles. But there’s one crucial factor that determines whether funding is approved quickly and efficiently: your attorney’s role.

From providing case documentation to safeguarding your settlement, your lawyer is a central figure in the funding process. This article explains why attorney cooperation is essential, what your lawyer does during funding, and how Instabridge works closely with legal teams to streamline the process.

Why Your Attorney’s Involvement Is Mandatory

Pre-settlement funding is based entirely on the strength of your case—not your credit history or income. To evaluate the case, the funding provider needs details that only your attorney can provide, including:

• The type of case and claim filed

• Evidence of liability and damages

• Estimated case value and timeline

• Case status and upcoming milestones

Without your lawyer’s participation, a funding company cannot verify the information needed to approve your application.

How Attorneys Help Secure Funding

1. Providing Case Documentation

Your attorney supplies the funding company with legal filings, medical records, expert reports, or any other supporting documents that demonstrate case strength.

2. Confirming Case Value

They help the funder understand the potential settlement range based on damages, liability, and case precedent.

3. Ensuring Compliance

Your lawyer ensures the funding agreement complies with legal and ethical rules in your jurisdiction.

4. Protecting Your Settlement

They verify that repayment terms are fair and won’t leave you with an unreasonably small share of your final settlement.

Attorney’s Role After Funding Is Approved

Once your funding is approved and disbursed:

• Your attorney keeps a record of the advance amount and repayment terms.

• They deduct repayment from your settlement before distributing your share.

• They communicate with the funding company if case developments change the expected timeline or outcome.
