Capital should never be the reason a client loses trust in their lawyer.
Today’s Guest: Natalie Schultz�VP of Sales at High Rise Financial LLC
Presented by: Open N Raw Podcast�Raw Law Media and OpenJar Concepts
Hosts: Ray Lakhani & Adam Warren
When firms are sitting on seven or eight figure cases, timing matters. Cash flow matters. And access to capital can be the difference between protecting a client and losing them.
That’s where legal funding becomes a strategic tool, not a last resort.
On this episode of Open N Raw, Natalie Schultz breaks down how lawsuit funding, plaintiff advances, litigation cost funding, and attorney lines of credit actually work in the real world. From advancing against expected verdicts to helping firms cover expert costs, marketing, or operational needs, this conversation pulls back the curtain on a side of law firm growth most people misunderstand.
Natalie also shares why her edge isn’t just speed or access to capital. It’s relationships. Being in the room. Showing up at conferences. Sitting down with firms face to face. And building trust long before the money is needed.
Because when everything flows correctly, clients stay protected, cases stay strong, and firms stay in control.
