Legal-Bay Lawsuit Funding Announces Closing of $10MM Senior Secured Notes

By Harry Moran |

Legal-Bay, the premier legal funding company, announced today the closing of $10MM in senior secured notes for their short-term growth plans. Legal-Bay, established in 2006 and one of the oldest legal funding firms in the “Lit Fin” industry, is now poised to aggressively fund car accidents, slip and falls, personal injury, sex abuse cases, sex harassment on job, wrongful termination, discrimination, Bard hernia mesh cases, Hawaii and California wildfire cases, and a slew of other cases with their increased capital commitment.

Chris Janish, CEO of the company, talked about the company’s goals, “With this new capital commitment and consistent recurring origination flow each quarter, we are excited about the future. We have a target to become one of the largest legal funding portfolios in the industry over the next four years. This initial capital closing is a bridge for more substantial capital needs over the next twelve months with our business model projecting $25MM to $30MM in additional assets to absorb our anticipated sales growth.” 

Legal-Bay is known as one of the best lawsuit funding companies in the industry for their 24-hour approvals and great customer service. They have enlarged their staff to take on the increased volume of clients applying for loans on lawsuits. 

If you are involved in a car accident or another lawsuit that is lagging in the courts and need cash today, you may apply right now for a cash advance on your case.

If you are a plaintiff or attorney involved in an active lawsuit and need an immediate cash advance lawsuit loan against an impending lawsuit settlement, please visit Legal-Bay HERE or call toll-free at 877.571.0405.

Legal-Bay’s loan settlement programs are designed to provide immediate cash in advance of a plaintiff’s anticipated monetary award. The non-recourse law suit loans—sometimes referred to as loans on lawsuit or loans on settlement—are risk-free, as the money doesn’t need to be repaid should the recipient lose their case. Therefore, the lawsuit loan isn’t really a loan, but rather a cash advance.

To apply right now for a loan on lawsuit program, please visit the company’s website HERE or call toll-free at: 877.571.0405 where agents are standing by.

Sentry Expands Free Funding Market Search for Litigators

By John Freund |

Sentry Funding’s free tool enabling litigators to instantly search the funding market on behalf of clients has been expanded.

Sentry’s free ‘decision in principle’ feature enables lawyers to evidence to clients that they have conducted a broad market search, even if funding is not ultimately taken out.

Having deployed £125m in funding across a range of case types, Sentry now has access to an even broader funding marketplace, covering 34 global jurisdictions. Finance is provided by 13 funders, five of which are members of the Association of Litigation Funders.

With the recent addition of Sentry’s first US-based funder, the US offering will now be expanding over the next few months. 

A faster process

Sentry has deployed the latest technology to make the search for funding even easier. 

  • The intuitive application process now only asks questions relevant to previous answers, saving lawyers time.
  • The commercial marketplace has been redeveloped with 63 new data points added to the funder criteria matrix - improving the accuracy of case / funder matching
  • Sentry has also begun building out its AI capabilities, starting with an automated auditing tool for live case progression audits. 

Tom Webster, chief executive officer at Sentry Funding, said:

‘By broadening our reach and speeding up the process, we’re making it even easier for lawyers to raise funding. We’re also giving litigators an easy way to show clients they have fully researched the market, rather than just approaching one or two funders. 

‘The service is free to use, so even if clients decide they do not ultimately want funding or if none is available for that case, for the lawyer, it makes sense to use our “decision in principle” feature, so they can put evidence on file that they did check the market.’

Sentry Funding is an SaaS (software as a service) technology provider that gives solicitors access to a diverse marketplace of litigation funders. It works with solicitors, funders and third-party providers to ensure claimants are getting the most efficient service for their funding needs. 

The Sentry Portal also acts as a case management system that runs a transparent digital case file for solicitors, funders, after-the-event insurance providers, barristers, cost lawyers and other relevant third parties.

NorthWall Capital Hits €2.9 B AUM on Private Credit Momentum

By John Freund |

NorthWall Capital has rocketed past €2.9 billion in assets under management after pulling in an additional €1.6 billion of institutional capital in 2025 alone. The London-based alternative credit manager says the surge reflects allocators’ intensifying hunt for scaled, multi-strategy platforms as Europe’s banks retrench and borrowers seek bespoke sources of credit.

A press release from NorthWall Capital details first-close totals across four distinct strategies. The flagship Credit Opportunities fund secured €731 million—already eclipsing its prior vintage—while the newly launched Senior Lending vehicle raised $503 million, translating to roughly $750 million of deployable firepower once leverage is applied. Asset-Backed Opportunities collected €252 million for collateral-rich loans in sectors underserved by traditional lenders, and the specialist Legal Assets platform locked down $169 million to extend the firm’s law-firm lending programme.

Founder and CIO Fabian Chrobog said the fundraising validates “the consistency of our approach” and NorthWall’s ability to craft solutions that resonate with investors and counterparties alike. With headcount slated to hit 40 by year-end, the firm plans to lean further into complex, situational credit born of bank deleveraging, regulatory shifts and sponsors’ need for certainty of execution.
