Scale Your Docket with Strategic Capital

Grow without giving up control. Docket financing provides portfolio-level capital tied to the aggregate strength of your firm’s pending cases. Instead of funding one case at a time, De Asis Hatchet evaluates your entire caseload and provides capital based on the overall projected value of your docket.

This approach gives you consistent, scalable caseload funding that grows with your practice. Deal sizes range from $250,000 to $100 million or more. Use it for operations, case costs, hiring, marketing, or any firm need. The capital is yours to deploy strategically with no upfront costs and the ability to talk to a litigation finance expert within 24 hours of your inquiry.

How Docket Financing Works

1.
1. Portfolio Assessment

De Asis Hatchet evaluates your firm's active caseload: case types, projected values, timelines, and resolution history. This gives us a comprehensive view of your docket's strength to offer portfolio litigation finance options. We package your firm’s information and shop the deal to a handful of our top lenders from our network. DAH guarantees confidentiality and only sends your deal to lenders we feel will be the best match for you.

2.
2. Capital Structure

Based on the assessment and our lenders’ options, DAH structures a funding arrangement tied to your portfolio's projected value. Amounts are scalable as your caseload grows.

3.
3. Flexible Deployment

Unlike case-specific financing, docket financing can be used across your firm's needs: case costs, operations, hiring, marketing, technology, or expansion.

4.
4. Repayment Tied to Outcomes

Repayment is structured around case resolutions across your docket. As cases settle, the funding is repaid. Non-recourse structures are available depending on portfolio composition.

How Docket Financing Differs from Other Products

Product Best For Structure Scope
Case Cost Financing Firms that need help with specific case costs Tied to a single case outcome Individual case expenses
Attorney Funding Firms that need operational capital not tied to a specific case Flexible use Firm-level

Firms That Benefit Most from Docket Financing

A Note on Recourse vs. Non-Recourse

Docket financing can be structured as non-recourse (repayment tied to case outcomes) or recourse (personally guaranteed). The structure depends on your firm’s profile, portfolio composition, and preferences.

DAH presents all terms clearly before you commit. We believe funding should be fair, transparent, and built around your firm’s long-term success. You will always know exactly what you are signing and what the repayment obligations are.
