Fund Your Case Costs Without the Financial Strain

Expert witnesses. Depositions. Court fees. Medical records. Investigation costs. Every case comes with a price tag, and for contingency-fee firms, those costs come out of pocket months or years before settlement.

Case cost financing provides capital specifically for case-related expenses. Repayment is structured around case resolution, not a fixed monthly schedule. Your firm’s operating capital remains intact while your cases move forward.

Sigma Funding, through De Asis Hatchet, covers the expenses that keep cases moving forward.

What Case Cost Financing Covers

Expert witness fees and retainers

Depositions and court reporter costs

Court filing fees

Medical records and documentation

Investigation and accident reconstruction

Trial preparation expenses

Any other direct case-related expense

If it is a cost you incur in pursuit of a specific case outcome, it likely qualifies for case cost financing.

Why Firms Choose Case Cost Financing

Preserve Operating Capital

Stop draining your reserves on law firm case costs. Keep operating capital available for payroll, marketing, and firm growth.

Take On Stronger Cases

Never decline a high-value case because you cannot afford the upfront costs. Case cost financing gives you the capacity to pursue cases that drive your firm's growth.

Reduce Financial Risk

Non-recourse structures mean the funder shares the risk. If your case does not succeed, you are not on the hook for repaying case expenses.

Improve Settlement Outcomes

When you can afford the best experts and thorough preparation, you negotiate from a position of strength. Properly funded cases tend to settle for more.

Litigation Expense Financing Is Ideal for Firms That:

Handle personal injury cases on contingency.
Simultaneously manage 5+ active cases.
Face mounting expert witness or deposition costs.
Want to take on larger cases without depleting reserves.
Are entering mass tort or complex litigation requiring significant upfront investment.

Let Your Cases Pay for Themselves

Stop choosing between investing in your cases and funding your firm. Case cost financing gives you both.
