Baker Street Funding Announces Lawsuit Loans At All Time High

Baker Street Funding is not your regular litigation funding company and their unique ability to diversify risk and foster strategic partnerships with major players within the legal funding industry, sets them apart from the competition.

Baker Street Funding is extremely well-capitalized and can deliver quick financing decisions to help attorneys and their clients focus on what matters most. Their staff of experienced litigators is well aware of how litigation and arbitration process work. They understand the pressure that clients can be under during high stakes arbitration and they are helping them with timely financial support and guidance to get the most out of their claim. They have helped thousands of Americans obtain the best settlement funding solutions and have provided those clients with a total of $50 million in funding in the past year alone. Plaintiffs and their attorneys can enjoy flexible terms at the lowest rates. When it comes to litigation funding, no one is better.

At Baker Street Funding, each and every person is treated with dignity and respect and not just like another case. They focus on providing their clients with a lawsuit cash advance on the future proceeds of their pending settlements. The process takes as little as 24 hours from the moment when they receive a copy of the case documents to the moment of wiring out the funds.

Although third-party litigation funding is quite a new phenomenon in the United States, it managed to take off quickly and become an important part of the legal landscape. “Our plaintiff funding business, where we provide personal injury plaintiffs with liquidity, in order for principal and a set rate of return to be paid upon successful settlement of their claim, has grown enormously in the past two years. We only work with a fraction of personal injury plaintiffs nationwide and if the economy takes a turn for the worse, there will be more plaintiffs in need of immediate capital. Investors see that as a great compliment to a portfolio of domestic equities and fixed in-come. As far as the importance to plaintiffs and counsel, quite simply the liquidity that we provide allows the plaintiff to continue to fight for a settlement that they deserve. It is a well-known tactic of insurers to drag out cases as long as possible in order to force the plaintiff into taking a smaller settlement. We help even the playing field.”, said Daniel DiGiaimo, CEO of Baker Street Funding.

Baker Street Funding is America’s no.1 preferred pre-settlement funding firm and considered one of the best pre-settlement funding companies nationwide. A settlement advance is also known as a non-recourse financing agreement, which means that if the client loses the case, he or she is not obliged to pay the company back. Baker Street Funding provides immediately available cash to customers they believe they have strong enough cases to win and pay back. Clients who choose them for litigation funding can enjoy a series of benefits such as no credit check, no job required, fast approval and funding, no risk, and contracts that advance from as little as $1,500 to $5 million or more.

At Baker Street Funding, many types of cases are considered. They list a number of case types on their website that they have funded previously but are always looking for new and interesting cases. Typically, they offer services such as personal injury pre-settlement funding, post-settlement funding, lawsuit advances, settled case funding, case cost funding, litigation funding, disbursement funding, bundled settlement advances, surgery funding, malpractice pre-settlement funding, premises liability settlement funding, and more.

The team of professionals working at Baker Street Funding is committed to providing their customers with accurate real-time updates on their applications and to lend a compassionate ear in their time of need. They believe everyone deserves a better financial future and they are here to deliver more value to their clients’ lives.

Golden Pear Upsizes Corporate Note to $78.7M Amid Growth Plans

By John Freund |

Golden Pear Funding has extended and upsized its investment-grade corporate note to $78.7 million, further bolstering the firm's capacity to serve the expanding litigation finance sector. The New York-based funder, a national leader in both pre-settlement and medical receivables financing, said the proceeds will support working capital and fuel strategic growth initiatives.

A press release from Golden Pear outlines how the capital raise reflects continued investor confidence in the firm’s business model. CEO Gary Amos noted that the infusion is critical as Golden Pear seeks to scale alongside the “rapidly expanding litigation finance market.” CFO Daniel Amsellem added that the new funding aligns with the company’s capital allocation strategy, aimed at optimizing operational efficiency and executing strategic projects.

Brean Capital, LLC acted as the exclusive financial advisor and sole placement agent on the transaction.

Founded in 2008, Golden Pear has funded more than $1.1 billion to over 87,000 clients and remains one of the largest specialty finance companies in the U.S. Its business model spans legal case funding and medical receivables purchasing, with backing from a network of private equity partners that provide institutional support for continued expansion.

LionFish Updates Model Documents in Response to CJC Report

By John Freund |

LionFish Litigation Finance Ltd has released a new suite of model litigation funding documents, updating its original set from February 2021. The revision comes on the heels of the Civil Justice Council's (CJC) Final Report on Litigation Funding, issued on 2 June 2025, which calls for a regulatory structure informed by best practices, including key principles published by the European Law Institute (ELI) in October 2024.

A LionFish press release details that the updated suite incorporates several of the ELI Principles (notably 4-12) and broader CJC recommendations, except where doing so would require legislative or procedural reform. LionFish's goal, according to Managing Director Tets Ishikawa, is not to dictate market norms but to foster industry-wide standardisation and efficiency. This proactive move is also intended to spark further collaboration between funders, insurers, and legal practitioners to develop trade practices akin to those in mature financial markets, such as those promoted by the Loan Market Association and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.

The new suite includes three core documents: a litigation funding agreement, a priorities deed to define proceeds distribution, and an assignment deed for insurance benefits. Notably, LionFish has also added documentation for co-investment arrangements, reflecting a growing trend in syndicated funding deals. The funder has already closed seven such transactions.

Managing Director Tanya Lansky emphasised that while litigation funding remains complex, making documentation public enhances transparency and facilitates quicker deal closings—an essential factor for sustaining market growth.

As litigation finance continues to mature, this move by LionFish highlights a shift toward professionalisation and standardisation. With regulators increasingly focused on transparency and fairness, such initiatives may set a de facto benchmark for others in the industry. The question remains: will other funders follow suit, or will regulatory mandates be needed to compel alignment?
