Legal-Bay Lawsuit Funding Announces “Feed or Fund” Donation / Promotion to Feed Families in April

CALDWELL, N.J., April 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Legal-Bay, the nation’s leading lawsuit settlement funding company, announced today that they have committed to providing coronavirus relief with their new “feed or fund” program. Plaintiffs who may be seeking legal funding are now being given even more incentive to apply for a settlement loan with this latest unprecedented offer.

Families affected by the coronavirus may be unemployed right now, and Legal-Bay is determined to help them obtain their lawsuit settlement loans as soon as possible. The company is running a promotion for plaintiffs who have a pending lawsuit, but need cash now. The promotion will run from today until April 30, 2020, and works like this: Any clients that apply for a lawsuit loan or cash advance and are denied will be eligible to receive a $60 gift card to feed their family in this time of need. If your case is approved for funding, then Legal-Bay will proceed to fund you and you will not be eligible for the gift card.

To apply right now, please go to: http://lawsuitssettlementfunding.com or call 877.571.0405 where live agents are available 24 hours a day to assist you.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay commented, “Unfortunately, people with pending lawsuits are already at a low point in their life, and having to deal with unemployment or illness due to Covid-19 is unimaginably difficult. Our ‘feed or fund’ promotion is geared toward letting plaintiffs know that we are open for business and able to fund them in this dire time.  And more importantly, if your case is denied you will not be left out in the cold, as we will be donating a $60 food card to any applicants who are denied legal funding over this period as well.”

Legal-Bay has chosen Grubhub and Uber Eats along with other national vendors to assist them during this promotion because they can offer bulk gift cards quickly via email delivery to families in need. Legal-Bay expects to have all gift cards delivered electronically between May 1 and May 15.

The program is designed to add extra incentive to people who are at a particularly difficult time in life, or have been denied funding in the past because they have a prior contract. Legal-Bay is one of the best lawsuit funding companies because they accept applications on almost all lawsuits.  They are also the best legal funding company when it comes to large buyouts of prior lawsuit loans, whereas the original funding company has stopped funding.  Legal-Bay has a Best Price Guarantee for all their clients, so most times buyout cases can be refinanced at cheaper rates than the existing loan.  What this means is that it’s possible to get an additional cash payment and yet still maintain the same payback terms. It costs nothing to inquire about refinancing options; the evaluation is free.

Here are just some of the cases that Legal-Bay will consider: Car and truck accidents, discrimination or wrongful termination, medical malpractice, sexual harassment and abuse, nursing home abuse, wrongful imprisonment, police brutality, labor law or construction accidents, Jones Act or maritime law, Fela or train accidents, personal injury, verdict on appeal cases, commercial litigation funding, civil cases involving general negligence, wrongful death, Hernia Mesh, IVC Filters, Round Up, Essure, attorney case cost funding, breach of contract, slip, trip, and falls, premise liability and more.

The legal process can be slow-moving, and many plaintiffs have not yet considered the financial strain they will incur as they wait for their cases to settle.  With courts closed down for many months due to Covid-19, it is anticipated that most civil lawsuits will be delayed for even longer than normally expected.  If you’re wondering how you will get through this period of economic and employment uncertainty, it may be time to consider pre-settlement funding as a viable cash option.

The application process couldn’t be easier, and if your case is approved, you can expect to receive your presettlement money within 24 hours. Plaintiffs are often pressured into settling lawsuits at a much lower sum than what they may actually receive at the trial, but the right funding company can keep this from happening by buying plaintiffs time to obtain a fair settlement. Procuring cash funding in advance of a final ruling can be a valuable tool if used properly.  There are no credit checks or out of pocket expenses, and even if you are out of work or unemployed we can help you based on the strength of your case.  Many businesses like a Baker operation or people on Street need funding, and can apply regardless of their employment status.

To qualify for the free gift card the following items are contingent:

  1. You must be a new applicant, existing clients do not qualify
  2. Legal-Bay must receive all required documents from your law firm and have access to speak to your lawyer to adequately evaluate your case
  3. Cases that are approved for funding for any amount are not eligible for a gift card

Again, if your law firm is unable or unwilling to participate in the evaluation process then you will not qualify for the gift card. To learn more, please view CEO Chris Janish’s message about the “Feed or Fund” promotion on YouTube by clicking HERE.

Legal-Bay urges anyone that knows a family member in need of coronavirus relief and has a pending lawsuit to forward this information to them immediately. Pre settlement funding will help to lift the burden through this trying time. A simple phone call could change their financial circumstances within a matter of days.

To apply right now, please go to: http://lawsuitssettlementfunding.com or call 877.571.0405 where live agents are available 24 hours a day to assist you. “Legal-Bay is just a call away.”

Disclaimer – Legal-Bay’s funding programs are non-recourse cash advances, and although many plaintiffs refer to them as loans, they are not a lawsuit loan, lawsuit loans, settlement loan or settlement loans of any kind. The risk-free cash advances are unlike a loan because if you lose your case you do not need to repay the advance.

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.

Victory Park Expands Legal Credit Leadership with Maleson Promotion

By John Freund |

Victory Park Capital (VPC), a global alternative asset manager specializing in private credit, has announced that Justin Maleson will expand his role to Managing Director, co-heading the firm’s legal credit investment strategy. The promotion underscores VPC’s ongoing investment in its legal finance capabilities and follows Maleson’s initial appointment in 2024 as Assistant General Counsel.

An announcement from Victory Park Capital details Maleson’s new responsibilities, which include sourcing, analyzing, and managing investments across legal assets, while maintaining oversight of the firm’s legal operations. He joins Chad Clamage in co-leading the strategy, working alongside team members Hugo Lestiboudois and Andrew Pascal, under the continued oversight of VPC CEO and founder Richard Levy.

Maleson brings a strong background in litigation finance and commercial law to the position. Before joining VPC, he served as a director at Longford Capital, where he specialized in originating and managing litigation funding transactions. His earlier tenure as a litigation partner at Jenner & Block further deepened his exposure to complex legal matters, equipping him with the expertise needed to navigate the nuanced legal credit space.

VPC’s legal credit team emphasizes an asset-backed lending model, prioritizing downside protection and predictable income streams. The firm aims to capitalize on inefficiencies within the legal funding market by leveraging its internal expertise and broad network of relationships. With Maleson’s appointment, VPC signals its intent to further scale its legal credit strategy, positioning itself as a key player in the evolving legal finance sector.

Maleson’s elevation comes at a time of increasing sophistication in litigation finance, where experienced legal minds are playing a pivotal role in portfolio construction and risk management. As VPC bolsters its leadership, the move may foreshadow further institutionalization of legal asset investing and heightened competition in a maturing market segment.
