Healthy investments in high quality expert reports are the lifeblood of a personal injury law firm, playing a vital role in obtaining full and fair settlements for accident victims.
These investments represent the largest part of a firm’s total disbursements, posing a significant challenge from a cash flow perspective. To alleviate this burden, lawyers often seek deferred payment arrangements from their experts. This cash flow solution for the law firm now becomes an accounts receivable burden for the expert.
Unlike a loan, under our Expert Access™ program BridgePoint purchases invoices from the expert - putting payment in the expert's pocket as soon as the work is completed BridgePoint assumes all timing and collection risk for payment, saving the expert not only the time cost of money (a dollar in two years’ time is not the same as a dollar in hand today), but the expense of pursuing aging receivables and occasionally receiving a negotiated reduction on their account.
BridgePoint also serves as a matchmaker between lawyers and experts through its active and growing network of law firm clients who use our Expert Access program.
The result is a win-win arrangement that satisfies the cash flow needs of both lawyers and experts while maximizing the prospects for full compensation for accident victims.
