Commercial Finance for Law Firms

Smarter capital. Sharper strategy. Whole-of-market reach.

We help law firms access the funding they need to grow, compete, and stay in control — with strategic support and access to the full commercial finance market.

Whether you’re expanding, acquiring, restructuring, or simply future-proofing your firm, we make sure the deal works for you — not the other way around. No generic terms. No unnecessary complexity. Just funding that fits.

What We Do

We go beyond sourcing finance — we help you get ready for it.

That means building compelling, funder-friendly pitch decks, mapping out the numbers, shaping your story, and making sure your ask lands. We work directly with your leadership, finance, and operations teams to align your funding strategy with your bigger picture goals and show you how to present it with total clarity and confidence.

We know what to ask for, who to ask, and how to ask.

The Types of Funding We Help You Secure

We work across all major lenders, private credit funds, and niche legal sector financiers to deliver the most competitive, well-structured options on the market — including:

Working Capital Facilities – for day-to-day cashflow and short-term operational needs

Partner Buy-In / Buy-Out Finance – to support succession planning and equity reshuffles

M&A and Acquisition Funding – for firm growth, practice takeovers, or lateral team moves

Refinancing & Debt Restructuring – to optimise existing finance and free up capital

Property & Leasehold Finance – covering office moves, refurbishments, or mortgage solutions

Business Development Loans – to back strategic growth, marketing, or expansion plans

CapEx & Tech Investment – for infrastructure upgrades, digital transformation, and equipment

Revenue-Based Finance – funding linked to future earnings or contingency fee income

Invoice Factoring & Receivables Finance – unlock capital tied up in billed but unpaid invoices

Why It Works

We’re not brokers. We’re your commercial finance partner — focused on outcomes, not commissions.

We understand law firms and speak funder. That means we know how to position your business, manage lender expectations, and get the numbers working in your favour. With full market access and no hidden agendas, you get honest advice, sharper strategy, and better deals.

You stay in control. We make it happen.
