Still have a question?

How do instant legal disbursements work for law firms?

Instant legal disbursements let law firms send funds to clients within seconds using digital wallets or direct bank transfers. These digital disbursements replace slow paper checks, giving attorneys a faster, more efficient, and transparent way to manage payouts.

Are instant legal disbursements secure?

Yes, our secure legal disbursement platform uses encryption, fraud monitoring, and compliance safeguards to protect every transaction. Digital disbursements for attorneys are fully encrypted and designed to meet legal industry standards, so client funds are handled safely.

What compliance requirements apply to law firm disbursements?

Law firm disbursements must follow state, ethical, and jurisdictional guidelines. Confido Legal’s platform includes built-in compliance checks to ensure instant legal disbursements align with IOLTA and professional rules, reducing the risk of errors or violations.

How can law firms integrate instant digital disbursements into their practice management systems?

Confido Legal makes it simple to integrate digital disbursements for attorneys with current tools. Pre-built integrations, no-code workflows, and a developer API allow firms to connect disbursements seamlessly with case management, accounting, and billing systems.

Can law firms track instant legal disbursements in real time?

Yes, Confido Legal provides visibility into payment statuses, allowing you to track transactions and ensure transparency for both your team and your clients.

How can an attorney ensure disbursements go to the right recipient?

Confido Legal uses multi-factor authentication, secure links, and admin approval to ensure disbursements go only to the intended recipient. Enhanced security options add even more checks for sensitive payouts, safeguarding law firm disbursements from unauthorized access.

What happens if a law firm disbursement fails or needs correction?

If a disbursement fails, the system provides the failure reason and allows the firm to resend funds. Because instant legal disbursements function like cash, it’s important to verify recipient details before sending. In most cases, failed transactions can be retried quickly.

What happens if a client enters the wrong banking details for a digital disbursement?

Confido Legal reduces errors by allowing clients to log in securely with Plaid to accept funds. If incorrect details are provided, the bank typically rejects the transfer, and the digital disbursement link reactivates, returning the funds to the law firm’s account.

What are the costs of instant legal disbursements for law firms?

Firms pay a small per-disbursement transaction fee. Clients can choose free ACH transfers that settle in 4–6 days, or clients can pay a small fee to receive funds instantly. This flexible model keeps digital disbursements predictable and transparent, while offering clients faster access to their money. For the the most up-to-date pricing, see our pricing page. 

Are there limits on law firm disbursements?

Yes, account-specific limits apply to law firm disbursements depending on payout method. These safeguards balance flexibility with security, ensuring instant and digital disbursements for attorneys are processed safely while preventing fraud or misuse.
