Why leading RAF attorneys trust Christopher Finance
RAF litigation is cash-intensive, time-consuming work. Christopher Finance partners with established practices
to keep disbursements funded,
matters moving, and your team focused on client outcomes instead of cash flow gaps.
Built specifically for RAF practices
We understand the realities of contingency-fee RAF litigation, with long timelines, high upfront disbursement costs, and unpredictable settlements. Our funding model is aligned with these dynamics, not generic business lending rules.
Transparent, matter-linked funding
Every funding arrangement is linked to specific matters and clearly documented. You stay in control of what is funded, when it is funded, and on which files it is applied, with no hidden instalments or unexpected deductions.
Keeps your team focused on cases, not cash flow
By removing the pressure of immediate payments for medico-legal reports, experts, and other disbursements, your professional team can focus on litigation strategy, negotiation, and client care, where their expertise adds the greatest value.
Human support, not a call centre
You have direct access to a specialist team that understands RAF work. Queries are handled personally, with clear communication on approvals, disbursements, and settlement reconciliations.
How the Christopher Finance process works
Our approach is structured, transparent, and aligned to the way established RAF practices operate.
Each step is clear, controlled, and supported by a specialist team.
Initial discussion and practice overview
We begin with a focused conversation to understand your RAF practice, matter profile, and disbursement requirements. This ensures correct alignment before any formal application.
Due diligence and tailored proposal
After reviewing your information, we prepare a tailored proposal outlining the funding framework and how matter-linked disbursements will be structured and monitored.
Agreement, onboarding, and matter allocation
After approval, we finalise the agreement, confirm communication lines, and jointly allocate qualifying matters for funding, ensuring clarity on all disbursement categories.
Ongoing funding, monitoring, and settlement
Disbursements are funded as agreed. We monitor each matter, reconcile at settlement, and maintain a transparent audit trail for your records.
What we typically fund for RAF practices
Christopher Finance supports the core disbursements that keep RAF litigation moving. Funding is aligned to
clearly defined categories,
linked to specific matters, and documented for your records.
