Litigation Through a Contingency Law Firm

When your small- or medium-sized business has been substantially harmed by another business, often larger and more influential, you need a lawyer that can get results. Unfortunately, the best attorneys often don’t come cheap, potentially charging millions of dollars in fees. As the pandemic and recession hit small- and medium-sized businesses the hardest, the demand for contingency law firms is rising. The cost of pursuing trials, especially against massive corporations, makes contingency fee structures attractive for small businesses. Now with an economic downturn on the horizon, contingency law firms are seeing a steep rise in demand. Most small- to medium-sized business owners do not have the financial capabilities to pursue trial, even when they’re in the right.

Luckily, business owners who need top-tier representation but can’t afford to shell out that kind of money have options. Some businesses explore funding commercial litigation by a litigation funding company (LFC). LFCs are the middlemen that connect clients and attorneys, taking their share in fees in exchange for covering the upfront costs of retaining a separate law firm for representation. Contingency law firms cut out the middleman by offering representation for clients and only accepting payment if they win the case. 

There are many problems with using a litigation funder. The greatest is the over-the-top due diligence process that takes months to complete requiring layers and layers of management approval. Then after all of that, litigation funding companies are notoriously for rejecting the deal after the business owner has spent months giving information to the litigation funder. In contrast, with the contingency firm, you are talking with the lawyer that is making the decision to go forward or not, and the process is much more streamlined and takes days or weeks to make decisions – not months.   

The additional problem with litigation funding is when trial or settlement decisions are made, the litigation funding company tends to control those conversations and the set up means that they are often more focused on getting their investment return than maximizing the recovery to the client. In contrast, with a contingency law firm, they get more money if the client gets more money, so their interest is aligned with the client. 

Contingency law firms cut out the middleman by offering representation for clients and only receiving payment if they win the case. 

In most cases, hiring a contingency law firm is the most efficient and best course of action. Contingency law firms benefit the client since they often share the same goal – the largest recovery possible. Contingency attorneys already have an incentive for results and not just inflating the bills. Because your attorney will not receive compensation unless you win, you can trust your contingency litigation attorney will fight for your best interests and the most money.  

Only Pay If You Win

On the surface, LFCs often claim they operate on “non-recourse funding” – clients owe nothing if the case is lost. However, the fine print in their contracts usually outlines several circumstances in which this claim is null and void and a client would be required to repay the company as if the funding were a loan. This questionable payment plan is often not disclosed until it’s too late.

Conversely, contingency attorneys are simple and straightforward. You only pay the lawyer a percentage from what is recovered in the lawsuit. No fine print or extenuating circumstances. In the event the case is lost, you pay no costs whatsoever. At MLG, our team of Commercial Litigation attorneys have decades of experience representing small- to medium-sized businesses. We understand that pursuing trial is not always the cheapest option, which is why we operate on a contingency basis. You can trust you have an all-star team that will represent your matter in court, and you will not pay a dime until we win.

We Work Harder and Faster for Our Clients

LFCs approach litigation lending like banks approach loans. Clients are caught in the cogs of bureaucracy and are expected to complete weeks or months of legal paperwork and formal requests that slow the process. Contingency law firms offer a much more streamlined decision-making process. Before taking the case, these firms perform a thorough fact-checking and discovery phase to ensure they can assist the client. Afterward, the client meets with a select few key decision-makers throughout the entire case. With no bureaucratic delays, the legal matter can proceed smoothly.  

LFCs owe their primary duty to their investors and not the client. This can cause significant misalignment of interest and conflict when settlement talks begin. As long as there is sufficient money being offered to pay back the investors, the LFC’s interest is in settlement and not in receiving fair compensation for the client. Meanwhile, contingency law firms have a fiduciary duty to do what is in the best interests of the client. Because the firm receives a percentage of the verdict or settlement, it also benefits the attorney to ensure the client recovers as much as possible. In the end, the client and contingency law firm are working toward the same goal – justice for the client.

What is Commercial Litigation?

Commercial litigation encompasses a wide array of disputes that can arise within a business context, covering matters ranging from contracts and partnership disputes to class actions, business torts, and shareholder issues. Our commercial litigators are staunch advocates for your best interests, ensuring a strong commitment to achieving favorable outcomes. While it’s easy to conflate commercial litigation with civil litigation, they diverge significantly in their focus and scope. Commercial litigation uniquely serves businesses in pursuing actions against other businesses or business owners. The primary distinction lies in the parties involved, as commercial disputes invariably involve business entities, rendering the litigation inherently more complex and costly.

Navigating commercial litigation requires a nuanced understanding of both legal principles and intricate business dynamics. Our highly skilled attorneys adeptly handle disputes across various venues, from state and federal courts to private arbitrations and administrative hearings. We bring to bear our expertise and resources to strategically navigate the complexities of commercial disputes, ensuring that your interests are vigorously defended and protected.

What is Complex Commercial Litigation?

Like commercial litigation, complex commercial litigation is a type of commercial litigation that involves high stakes and describes complicated commercial transactions. Complex commercial litigation cases can also involve substantial amounts of money, valuable assets, multiple parties, and detailed operating agreements. Examples of complex commercial litigation include:

• Whistleblower cases
• Partnership & shareholder disputes
• Intellectual property cases
• Fraud
• Breach of contract

These are only a few matters in which complex commercial litigation is applicable. However, it is not comprehensive. Since this type of litigation is more complex, as the name suggests, other types of litigation can become complicated, turning them into complex commercial litigation cases. Any case that falls under complex or commercial litigation will have its own set of unique risks and opportunities for that specific case. If you have a complex commercial litigation matter, call a McCune Law Group lawyer today. Our team is especially trained to handle commercial disputes.

How Commercial Litigators Help with Shareholder Disputes

Most, if not all shareholders want to see their businesses succeed, but differing opinions or attitudes can begin to dismantle the business model altogether. If these differences are left unchecked, they can become destructive and can result in business objectives taking second priority. Disputes between shareholders are often inevitable, but they can be prevented from happening in the first place with positive communication or honest representation. With the help of commercial litigators, disputes can be mediated in a way that benefits both parties. MLG commercial litigators are experts in most types of business litigation, making us the ideal solution for shareholder disputes in need of mediation or representation. Most business litigation cases stem from some type of shareholder fallout. Shareholder disputes often involve heavy amounts of legal paperwork in their cases, regardless of the size of the conflict. Whether the dispute is small or large, our commercial litigators are your go to attorneys when a shareholder dispute arises.
