for Utah Attorneys
When a client is waiting for a settlement, everyday financial pressure can make an already stressful case feel harder to manage. Rent, medical bills, transportation, groceries, and lost income don’t wait for a case to be resolved.
Scryp Legal Funding helps qualifying clients access pre-settlement funding while their attorney continues working toward a settlement or recovery. For attorneys and case managers, our goal is to make the funding review process straightforward, attorney-coordinated, and focused on the information needed to evaluate the request.
This page explains how Scryp works with Utah attorneys and law firm staff during the funding review process, including what information may be requested and the next steps if funding is approved.
Legal funding can help clients manage necessary expenses while a case is still pending. When clients are under financial pressure, they may be facing bills, medical expenses, missed work, or other costs before settlement funds become available.
Pre-settlement funding may help qualifying clients cover immediate expenses while their cases continue. This can give clients financial breathing room during the waiting period and allow attorneys to continue focusing on the legal claim.
Scryp provides pre-settlement funding, also called legal funding or a settlement advance. Funding is non-recourse, meaning repayment comes from the client’s case proceeds if there is a settlement or recovery, subject to the terms of the funding agreement.
Scryp can review a funding request when a client has a pending legal claim, is represented by an attorney, and is waiting on a potential settlement or recovery.
Each request is reviewed individually, and funding depends on the
case details, available information, and potential recovery. A client can begin the process by submitting an online application with basic contact, case, and attorney information. Scryp’s current application
asks for the attorney’s first and last name, law firm name, and law firm phone number.
Clients may apply directly. Attorneys and case managers may also contact Scryp with questions about an active client funding request, the information needed for review, or whether a client may be a good fit for pre-settlement funding.
After a client applies, Scryp will contact the attorney or law firm to request information needed to complete the review. The goal is to understand the claim well enough to determine whether funding is available and what amount is appropriate. Scryp may request information such as:
Scryp asks applicants to make their attorney aware that Scryp may contact the firm for more details. This helps the review process move forward and gives the attorney or case manager context for the request.
Scryp’s process is designed to be simple for clients and respectful of an attorney’s time. We understand that attorneys and case managers already have enough to manage, so the funding review process focuses on the case information needed to evaluate the request. With Scryp, attorneys and case managers can expect:
Scryp’s role is limited to reviewing funding requests and, if approved, providing funding under the final agreement. Scryp does not:
The client’s attorney remains responsible for legal strategy, case handling, settlement discussions, and legal advice. Scryp’s review focuses on the funding request and potential case recovery.
Scryp typically provides an application response within two business days, though timing may depend on the application, available case information, attorney response, the review process, and agreement completion. The legal funding process is designed to be straightforward:
The client submits contact, case, and attorney information.
Scryp reviews the application and identifies what case information is needed.
Scryp contacts the attorney or law firm to confirm case details and obtain information needed for review.
If approved, the client and attorney are notified and provided the agreement needed to complete the funding request.
Funding is provided after the required agreement process is complete.
If a client is approved, they review and sign the funding agreement before funds are provided. The agreement will cover the funding amount, charges, repayment terms, and repayment process.
If the case settles or results in a recovery, repayment comes from the client’s case proceeds, in accordance with the funding agreement. There are no monthly payments like a traditional loan. If there is no settlement or recovery, repayment is generally not owed, subject to the terms of the agreement.
When the case is resolved, the attorney or law firm may be involved in confirming payoff information and handling repayment from case proceeds according to the funding agreement.
Attorneys and case managers are often asked practical questions about legal funding. Scryp encourages clients to review the funding agreement carefully and discuss questions with their attorney before signing. Scryp does not provide legal advice. Clients should speak with their attorney about how pre-settlement funding may affect their potential case proceeds. Clients should understand:
