Trusted by Canada's top personal injury practices

Other litigation lenders offer "fast" and "easy" money on expensive and confusing terms that your clients are likely too desperate to care about. These loans are advanced prematurely in the litigation with no consideration for the claim value, and may ultimately impede the settlement process.

Our commitment to responsible lending

Only BridgePoint employs a team of highly qualified specialists to efficiently evaluate each borrower's claim. We then tailor each financing solution to address your client's specific needs while ensuring that every loan offered makes sense, relative to their claim.

Important information regarding your client's settlement loan

• Legal fees and disbursements always take priority to the repayment of any client's Settlement Loan repayment to BridgePoint.
• While we require some information from a prospective borrower's lawyer to assess each application, our process has been designed to minimize the time, effort and involvement of counsel. Where possible, one of our Loan Assessment Specialists can review the client file at your offices.
• Each Settlement Loan is a contract a between BridgePoint and the individual borrower, subject to our independent legal due diligence. Counsel does not guarantee their client's obligation in any way and has no liability to BridgePoint in the event a borrower's claim is unsuccessful.
• BridgePoint will not interfere in the direction or management of a borrower's claim under any circumstances.

Once a decision has been made to borrow, we fully trust the team at BridgePoint to take care in ensuring that any financing solution they offer is appropriate, in relation to both our client's needs, and the value of the underlying claim.
