LexFund: The U.S. Marketplace for Litigation Funding
LexFund is a streamlined U.S.-focused litigation funding platform built for attorneys and funders to connect efficiently while maintaining control and privacy. By providing secure, compliant financial transactions, LexFund empowers attorneys to secure funding for cases and helps funders discover investment opportunities. With integrations like Orum.io for payments and DocuSign for document execution, LexFund simplifies the process while ensuring compliance with KYC, KYB, and AML regulations.
What is Litigation Funding?
Litigation Funding refers to the practice of third-party investors providing financial support to plaintiffs or attorneys to fund litigation in exchange for a portion of the proceeds from the case. This type of funding allows parties with strong legal claims but limited financial resources to pursue justice without bearing the financial risk. In essence, the funder covers legal fees and other litigation-related expenses, and in return, they receive a percentage of the recovery if the case is successful. Litigation Funding helps level the playing field, particularly in complex and high-cost cases, allowing for greater access to justice.
At LexFund, we provide a secure platform where attorneys can connect with funders to secure this type of financial backing efficiently.
Attorney-Focused Solutions: Secure Funding in 3 Simple Steps
1. Apply Once
Attorneys only need to upload their case once to reach LexFund’s network of vetted funders. Privacy settings enable attorneys to protect sensitive and identifiable case information in their listing, with the ability to upload anonymously.
2. Connect
Attorneys receive introduction requests from interested funders, and have the flexibility to choose which requests to accept. Once connected, attorneys can upload and execute NDAs directly through the platform using DocuSign, and share files in a live data room for a streamlined and secure exchange of information.
3. Execute and Receive Funding
Once terms are agreed upon, attorneys finalize funding agreements on LexFund with DocuSign integration. LexFund offers the ability to directly and securely receive funds via the Orum.io integration, which ensures all financial transactions meet KYC, KYB, and AML compliance. Attorneys can track the funding history for their portfolio of cases via a comprehensive activity log.

Streamlined Workflow: With both DocuSign and Orum.io integrated into the platform, attorneys save valuable time by handling both document execution and payments securely in one place.

LexFund facilitates these connections and streamlines the process, ensuring that both attorneys and funders have the information they need to make informed decisions. Our platform handles the entire process, from introductions to document execution and funding, all within a secure and compliant environment.
Only attorneys representing plaintiffs can apply to LexFund for litigation funding. Plaintiffs themselves cannot apply directly, ensuring that all applications are made with full legal oversight.
LexFund has a simple and transparent pricing model:
No upfront costs: There are no charges for attorneys to submit cases or for funders to review them.
2% fee: When a litigation fund invests in a case, LexFund charges a flat 2% fee on the capital deployed. This fee is deducted from the funds provided by the funder to the plaintiff.
No hidden fees: There are no other platform fees or additional costs for using LexFund.
Litigation financing through LexFund allows attorneys to pursue cases without the financial burden of upfront costs. Here are key benefits:
Risk reduction: Financing provides the necessary funds to cover legal fees, expert witness costs, and other litigation expenses, allowing you to focus on the merits of your case.
Level the playing field: Access to capital ensures that your clients can compete against well-funded defendants, creating a fairer opportunity for justice.
Financial flexibility: You can pursue meritorious claims without straining your firm’s financial resources or requiring your client to finance the case upfront.
LexFund is built with security and regulatory compliance in mind:
KYC/KYB/AML: Our Orum.io integration conducts comprehensive Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB), and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on all users before any payment is processed. This ensures that all parties comply with applicable regulations and that financial transactions are legitimate.
At LexFund, protecting your data is our highest priority:
No data selling or third-party cookies: LexFund does not sell or divulge user data to third parties. We also avoid using third-party cookies that track personal behavior across the web.
Orum.io payment integration: We chose Orum.io as our payment processor specifically because it does not sell data or use account-linking practices that would expose account balances or other sensitive financial information. For more information, read Orum.io’s commitment to privacy [here], and LexFund’s privacy policy [here].
Currently, LexFund only supports cases within the United States. We are continually evaluating opportunities for expansion but currently limit operations to U.S.-based legal claims.
