Job Description :

Fort Morgan Capital is hiring a Director of Legal Credit and Diligence Operations to lead the evaluation, underwriting, and approval process for credit facilities issued to law firms. This is a high-responsibility role for a credit leader with experience in legal asset analysis, diligence management, and structuring complex legal receivable-backed loans.

You’ll be responsible for owning the entire underwriting lifecycle, coordinating external advisors, and producing decision-ready investment materials for committee approval. The ideal candidate combines legal fluency with credit structuring experience and operational execution.

Underwriting, Diligence & Credit Oversight

  • Own end-to-end credit execution : intake, modeling, diligence, credit memo, IC presentation, and closing

  • Analyze case dockets, pipeline strength, settlement timelines, and projected legal fee recoveries
  • Coordinate with third-party legal advisors, valuation firms, and underwriters on case quality and portfolio risk
  • Draft and present Investment Memos (IMs) for approval by the Fort Morgan Investment Committee
  • Ensure all legal structuring (e.g., lien protections, superpriority status, PPFFPA compliance) is complete pre-funding
  • Oversee funding documentation and coordinate transition to post-close servicing and reporting
  • Respond to IC redlines, negotiate final loan docs, and ensure funding terms align with underwriting

    • Requirements

  • 5+ years in legal finance, structured credit, investment banking, or plaintiff-side underwriting
  • JD or equivalent background with litigation finance, legal receivables, or private credit transactions
  • Proven experience evaluating case portfolios and drafting institutional-grade investment memos
  • Deep understanding of litigation timelines, fee structures, and settlement patterns across PI and mass tort
  • Proficient in legal documentation, UCC filings, PPFFPA, lien protections, and asset-backed credit
  • Able to manage multiple stakeholders including internal teams, IC members, and external counsel

    • Preferred :

  • Experience in law firm lending or pre-settlement funding
  • Understanding of how case quality and practice structure impact credit risk
  • Bonus : Experience integrating AI or automation tools into legal diligence or underwriting workflows
