Legal Finance.
Simplified.
SmartFee partners with commercial law firms in Australia, providing legal finance that makes cash flow management a breeze.
Struggling with clients that can’t pay their bills on time? With SmartFee, clients can obtain legal finance to pay their invoice, and then break their repayments down over the next 3-12 months.
That means your invoices are paid up front, so you can grow your firm and support clients that need your help.
Improve Your Cash Flow with Legal Finance from SmartFee
Commercial law firms offer specialist advice and highly skilled professionals. That means you’re probably generating large invoices with each matter.
Large invoices are often a problem for clients. If they’re unable to pay their bills on time, that can affect your firm and strain on your cash flow management.
SmartFee takes care of this issue by providing a fee funding service that’s open to all commercial law firms across Australia. Our service offers short term legal finance that helps clients pay their bills on time.
For firms, SmartFee makes it possible to grow your business and service more clients than ever. For clients, our legal finance allows you to access professional services whenever you need help.
Legal Finance for Client’s Fees
SmartFee Personal is a fee funding service that’s aimed at the clients of commercial law firms. Whether you’re an individual or a corporate client, SmartFee can help.
Commercial lawyers offer specialist services that can help protect your interests. While their advice is useful, it can be tempting to go without professional support when you know the invoice will be large.
If you need help with business, buying and selling property, governance or other commercial matters, speaking to a lawyer is your best option. And, with SmartFee, you don’t need to worry about the size of the invoice – we have you covered.
SmartFee Personal makes it easy to get short term legal finance, quickly. We pay your invoice up front, providing loans for legal fees in manageable instalments. If you have an invoice you need to pay, SmartFee offers:
The freedom to work with your lawyer whenever you need to
Less strain on your own cash flow and savings
Flexible repayment periods of between 3-12 months
Flexible repayment conditions that suit your situation
Full payment made to your lawyer (within 3 business days of you paying the first instalment)
