Business finance
Financing for Family Lawyers
Family law firms carry the cost of matters long before they are paid — disbursements, court filing fees, barristers' fees and staff wages all flow out while fees accrue over months. A working-capital facility, typically in the ~$50,000 range for a practice, bridges that gap so a long matter does not stretch your cash position.
Finance also funds growth — bringing on another lawyer, upgrading your practice management and trust accounting systems, or fitting out new rooms. Because legal practices have steady, recurring fee income, lenders can often structure facilities around your billings rather than physical assets.
Common questions
Family Lawyers — business loan questions
What do family law firms usually finance?
Mostly working capital to cover disbursements, court fees and wages while matters run, plus practice systems and growth costs like hiring. Cockatoo helps match you to a lender that understands professional-services cash flow.
Can my fee income support a finance application?
Often yes. Steady, recurring billings are exactly what working-capital and revenue-based lenders look for. Showing your work-in-progress and a healthy matter pipeline strengthens the case.
