Smart Capital for Legal Minds
Got a bar number? Gain access to microloans between $10,000 - $50,000
Powering Your Practice
You didn’t go to law school to chase invoices, stress over rent, or put off trial prep because funds are tight. You became a lawyer to lead, to win, to serve clients your way. That’s why more attorneys are stepping away from traditional firms and choosing to build their own practice from the ground up. But independence has a cost.
Retainers come slow. Expenses don’t. Court fees, staffing, marketing, and overhead hit hard in the early stages. And banks? They don’t speak your language. That’s where ESQ Lend comes in.
If you’ve got a bar number, you’ve got options.
We offer fast, flexible micro-loans from $10K to $50K, designed specifically for lawyers navigating the realities of going solo or staying small. Whether you're managing a complex case, launching your first firm, or just trying to make it through the slow season, we’re here to help you move forward.
This isn’t just capital. It’s confidence.
It’s the runway you need to stay focused, keep your doors open, and power your practice with purpose.
Use your funds
where it matters most
ESQ Lend microloans are designed for the real-world expenses lawyers face when running or launching a practice. Here are just a few ways attorneys are putting our funding to work:

Pay for expert witnesses or deposition transcripts in complex litigation
Keep up with rent, insurance, or bar dues during slow cash flow periods

Designed by lawyers for lawyers, ESQ Lend helps you bridge the financial gaps that traditional lenders don’t understand so you can focus on building your firm, serving your clients, and growing your impact in the legal world.
“Waiting on a settlement while trying to prep for trial was brutal. I had court costs stacking up, expert witness fees due, and monthly overhead I couldn’t push off. ESQ Lend gave me the breathing room I needed and fast. I got the funds within days, kept the lights on, and stayed focused on the case instead of the chaos.”
