Flexible payment and ExpertPays
Expert costs deferred, so a contingency case does not have to carry them up front.
ECS partners with ExpertPays so that expert retainers and case costs can be financed under a non-recourse, interest-free, flat-fee deferred payment agreement.
One condition worth knowing up front: the case has to be underwritten and accepted by ExpertPays before the non-recourse terms apply. It is a financing decision, not an automatic feature of the engagement.
The practical effect for a plaintiff firm is that a case can be worked up properly without the firm advancing expert costs from its own capital.
Who it is for
Plaintiff firms working nursing home cases on contingency that would rather not advance expert retainers and case costs from firm capital.
What it includes
- Non-recourse once accepted
- Interest free
- Flat fee
- Covers expert retainers and case costs
- Subject to underwriting and acceptance by ExpertPays

Expert retainers and case costs are covered under a non-recourse, interest-free, flat-fee deferred payment agreement.
Repayment
