Case Study: Lawtrades achieves instant payments for legal talent with OatFi

Lawtrades enables 30-90 day client terms with OatFi

Lawtrades, a tech-enabled platform for hiring legal talent, faced a significant working capital challenge. They needed to pay their freelancers promptly while their enterprise clients expected 30-90 day payment terms, creating a cash flow gap that constrained their growth. To solve this, they partnered with OatFi for an embedded working capital solution.

OatFi implemented an API-first solution that automatically underwrites Lawtrades' clients for credit upon onboarding. Once invoices are submitted, OatFi funds payouts in real-time, allowing Lawtrades to pay their legal talent instantly. This removed the working capital burden from Lawtrades' balance sheet, optimized their cash flow, and unlocked new business growth.
