Amicus Capital and RapidFunds Announce Strategic Partnership

Katonah NY. Modeso LLC D/B/A Rapidfunds (“RF”), today announced that they have signed an agreement with Amicus Capital (“AC”), a prominent investment firm in the legal financing market, establishing a partnership to provide financing to law firms throughout the United States. Through this partnership, RF and AC will market each other’s services to existing and prospective law firms on a nationwide basis by leveraging their extensive databases of law firms.

This partnership will provide significant benefits to both organizations, as well as the lawyers they serve. By pooling their resources, RF and AC will be able to offer a comprehensive suite of financing options to law firms of all sizes. In addition, the two companies will be able to share knowledge and best practices, giving both organizations a competitive edge in the legal finance market.

“Bill Tilley is a pioneer and seasoned expert in the settlement finance market” stated Peter J. Speziale the Company’s CEO and President. “We believe this partnership will make both companies stronger and  will allow law firms to pursue financing with industry-leading terms.”

About Rapidfunds:

RapidFunds® was co-founded in 2004 by attorney Peter J. Speziale, as a solution to the cash flow problems contingent fee attorneys face. Running a law firm takes a lot of capital. Traditional lending institutions are generally not comfortable lending on contingent fee cases, and typically not to the extent necessary to resolve cash flow problems. Unlike these institutions, Rapidfunds fully understands the value of the assets contained in a law firm’s inventory of cases.

About AMICUS Capital:

More than two decades ago, Bill Tilley had a vision to mitigate the most systemic business challenge for law firms: wildly fluctuating cash flow. His solution was to apply business and finance philosophies to the legal industry, and in doing so, he ignited the litigation finance industry. Today, Amicus Capital Group is a leading provider of capital to law firms and attorneys, and Tilley’s pioneering work continues to shape the way that legal services are financed. By providing much-needed stability to the industry’s cash flow, Tilley has helped countless law firms to grow and thrive. In the process, he has changed the landscape of legal finance forever.

AMICUS CAPITAL GROUP, LLC is a private finance company dedicated solely to the provision of innovative litigation finance and business services for trial lawyers. They are focused on stabilizing cash flow to increase growth, sustainability, and profitability. Amicus Capital Group offers savvy solutions at every stage of business, from financing litigation to managing expenses. By providing capital and expertise, they help law firms overcome the challenges of operating in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Whether you’re looking for working capital to grow your practice or ways to improve your bottom line, Amicus Capital Group can help.

Angeion Group Expands Mass Tort Litigation Management Capabilities Through Merger with Case Works

By Harry Moran and 4 others |

Angeion Group (“Angeion”), the industry leader in end-to-end group litigation support, announced today its merger with Case Works, a premier provider of case data management solutions, including client engagement, medical record retrieval, medical review, and inventory analysis. Neutral, but never passive, this strategic integration of Case Works reinforces Angeion’s forward thinking approach to providing seamless tech-enabled support for complex litigation firms and leading law departments, with efficiency and precision.

The merger of Angeion and Case Works follows majority investments into both companies by private equity firm Renovus Capital Partners (“Renovus”) in 2024. Angeion also acquired bankruptcy administration solutions provider Donlin Recano in late 2024. Renovus worked alongside the companies’ founders and management teams to unify the businesses and deliver a seamless experience for clients and employees throughout the integration.

Case Works has earned a reputation of excellence by ensuring accuracy, completeness, and applicability of case data to support legal requirements. By combining their core capabilities with Angeion’s advanced technology and data-driven approach, this merger further solidifies Angeion’s position as the most trusted partner for navigating complex, high-stakes litigation and settlements.

Effective large-scale litigation and settlements rely on comprehensive, well-organized data and the ability to apply that data effectively within the context of a particular project. Combining Case Works’ proven excellence in capturing and managing critical case information with Angeion Group’s expertise in technology, process efficiency and claims management, provides a more structured, more transparent, and more effective approach to large-scale litigation and settlement management.

“Case Works brings deep expertise and a proven track record of supporting firms with large data and medical record retrieval needs. They are known for their dedication to precision, care and bedside manner,” said Steven Weisbrot, CEO of Angeion Group. “Together, we are raising the bar for what clients can expect—faster, more accurate processes and a commitment to white glove service.”

Angeion Group and Case Works share a common vision: to set the new standard for how large-scale litigation and group settlement support can combine technological efficiency with thoughtful human interaction. Both organizations are driven by a commitment to innovation, precision, and efficiency and are mindful that litigants should expect and receive compassion and respect throughout the group litigation process. This merger will elevate industry standards and ensure that all parties, their council, and the courts benefit from a more streamlined, thoughtful and effective process.

“We’re excited to join forces with Angeion Group,” said Susan Barfield, Founder of Case Works. “Their commitment to innovation and client service aligns perfectly with our own, and we look forward to delivering even greater value to the firms and clients we support.”

“We’re honored to have partnered with these leading companies, building upon our strong track record in tech-enabled legal services,” added Lee Minkoff, Managing Director at Renovus. “We’d also like to thank founders Steve Weisbrot and Susan Barfield for their leadership throughout this game changing merger for the group litigation support industry.”

Angeion remains steadfast in its mission to completely modernize and optimize complex litigation management to the benefit of all stakeholders.
