For whom

One platform. Three sides of the table.

Plaintiffs

Apply for non-recourse funding, track your case in real time, and compare offers transparently.

How plaintiffs use Legal Bridge

Law firms

Manage cases, automate docket monitoring, and connect clients to vetted funders without leaving your workspace.

For trial attorneys

Litigation funders

Pre-screened deal flow, AI-assisted underwriting, and end-to-end portfolio analytics.

For capital providers

How it works

From intake to waterfall in five steps.

  1. 01
    Intake & verify

    KYC, bar verification, and case intake in a guided 5-minute flow. Documents uploaded to encrypted storage.

  2. 02
    AI underwrites

    Claude + proprietary risk models score success probability, predicted settlement, and ROI. Underwriter signs off.

  3. 03
    Marketplace matches

    Vetted funders see the opportunity, submit competing offers. Plaintiff accepts one via e-signature.

  4. 04
    Funds disbursed

    Stripe Connect routes capital to plaintiff's bank in hours. Docket monitor tracks the case to settlement.

  5. 05
    Waterfall executed

    On settlement, automated waterfall distributes attorney fees, funder principal + return, and residual to plaintiff.

Platform

Built like a financial system. Used like a chat app.

AI risk scoring

Multi-model underwriting on Claude 3.5 + GPT-4o, trained on millions of historical outcomes.

Court docket sync

PACER + CourtListener + state courts ingested every 5 minutes. Push notifications on key events.

Stripe Connect marketplace

Escrow-like flows, automated waterfalls, and SOX-style daily reconciliation against the platform ledger.

OCR document intelligence

Textract + LLM extraction surfaces parties, claims, damages, and dates from any PDF in seconds.

Financial-grade security

End-to-end encryption with per-tenant KMS keys, MFA, RLS at the database layer, and audit logs in WORM storage.

Portfolio analytics

Funders get IRR, deployment, and outcome dashboards. Firms get pipeline, revenue, and disbursement reports.

Scope of work

Everything included in the $40,000 build.

A three-sided litigation-funding marketplace — plaintiffs, attorneys, and investors — with AI case & attorney ratings, AI-validated escrow, court docket sync, and dual-sided Stripe payments.

Plaintiff experience

  • Guided intake: case story, evidence & document upload, retainer amount requested
  • Case-at-a-glance dashboard with milestones, funding offers, and uploaded documents
  • Per-case journey tracker showing completed vs. pending plaintiff actions
  • Document vault with upload button — single place to find everything they've submitted
  • Read-only visibility once attorney is retained — no interference with legal strategy
  • Messaging hub: toggle between attorney channel and AI assistant for case Q&A
  • Funding offers panel — see which investors backed the case (level of detail configurable)
  • Find-an-attorney directory open to plaintiffs, surfacing win rates & settlement history
  • Single-case or multi-case support for plaintiffs with more than one active matter

Attorney workspace

  • Tiered access: Free (view-only) → Pro / Firm (claim leads, post cases, accept funding)
  • Add-new-case flow + advanced search across cases, funders, and dockets (date, location, distance, #)
  • Recent-cases docket feed with data-isolation guarantees (no cross-firm leakage)
  • Marketplace of unrepresented plaintiffs with AI match score (e.g. 94% vs. 79% fit) tied to practice area
  • Lead claim flow — multi-attorney contention handled via plaintiff-driven selection
  • Per-plaintiff document folders (Plaintiff 1, 2, 3 → click → all files)
  • Monthly funding-volume analytics skewed to attorney KPIs
  • Funding portfolio + escrow ledger per case (investor visibility configurable)
  • Escrow withdrawals via invoice upload — AI validates invoice belongs to the case before release
  • Broadcast-only updates to investors with attorney-client privilege reminder prompt before posting
  • Attorney network view — peer activity & analytics to spot anomalies ("these numbers are wrong")

Investor / funder console

  • Deal flow marketplace with AI case rating (1–5★, based on historical comparable cases)
  • Attorney directory with AI-scraped win rate, history, reviews, and bar verification
  • Tiered subscription: Free (basic), Paid (priority), Paid+ (fastest docket alerts & updates) — naming TBD
  • Performance breakdown by case type, month, and realized return — with visualizations
  • Risk & compliance view per case (structured with input from retained counsel)
  • Wall between investor ↔ attorney — only broadcast updates from attorney/AI, no DMs

AI engine & messaging

  • Case rating engine — scrapes comparable past cases to score viability
  • Attorney rating engine — scrapes public court system for win/loss history
  • Docket scrubber — continuously monitors court system for case updates & hearing dates
  • AI as primary messenger: auto-publishes "went to court today, here's the outcome" updates
  • Attorney-initiated announcements gated by an attorney-client confidentiality prompt
  • Invoice validation — OCR + reasoning to confirm escrow withdrawal requests are case-related
  • Direct Claude / GPT API integration (no aggregator) to control cost and latency

Escrow & dual-sided payments

  • Investor funds held in escrow per case (not commingled)
  • Attorney submits invoice → AI verifies → funds released from escrow
  • Settlement waterfall: principal + agreed return to investors, attorney fees, plaintiff remainder
  • Stripe Connect for inbound investor funding + outbound payouts to all parties (live first)
  • Banking-as-a-service / Plaid-style integration planned for bank connectivity (client signs up for required accounts; we point to the right providers)
  • Subscription billing for attorney and investor tiers
  • Full audit trail of every escrow movement

Platform foundation & compliance

  • Three-sided auth & roles (plaintiff / attorney / investor) + admin portal
  • Bar number verification for attorneys at signup
  • KYC / accredited investor checks at signup
  • RLS-protected database, MFA, encrypted document storage
  • One-time compliance consult with client's retained attorney (~1 hr) to validate disclaimers, terms, privilege language, ratings legality
  • Audit logs, SOC 2-ready posture

Delivery model & engagement

  • Web platform shipped first; iOS + Android built in parallel and released ~1 month after web (App Store / Play review buffer)
  • Milestone-based validation: client signs off before each next milestone begins
  • Design phase uses live preview + Markup tool for feedback (Figma deferred for web; required for mobile)
  • Logo / brand: we build it if none exists; client supplies a short brand form if they have one
  • Project managed by Frenchy + Yasmin (right hand); developers introduced once build phase starts
  • Scope-change policy: anything not in signed SOW (e.g. video conferencing) is a separate change order with estimate
  • Exit clause: at any milestone, client receives all deliverables + full source code — no code held hostage
  • Stable URL provided early so Stripe onboarding can begin against the live site

Commercials, third-party costs & post-launch

  • All third-party software, services, and subscriptions (Stripe, AI providers, PACER/docket data, Plaid/banking, email, SMS, App Store / Play developer accounts, domain, etc.) are paid for directly by the client
  • Infrastructure, APIs, and ongoing maintenance billed at $500 / month per platform (Web, iOS, Android) — $1,500 / month once all three are live
  • Maintenance billing begins only after go-live on web: production domain pointed to the main app and mobile apps published in the App Store / Play Store
  • 30 days of free edits and modifications post-launch — anything within the original signed scope of work, no change orders
  • Out-of-scope requests after the 30-day window follow the standard change-order process with a written estimate
  • Nominal 3% transaction fee applied to all payments processed through the platform, regardless of payment method (card, ACH, Plaid bank transfer, etc.) — covers processor pass-through and escrow handling
