Balanced Bridge Reaffirms Their Commitment to Focus Exclusively on Post-Settlement Funding

ARDMORE, Pa.March 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Specialty finance firm Balanced Bridge Funding (“Balanced Bridge”), which offers to accelerate fees, awards, salaries, claims, contract earnings, and other future receivables across numerous asset classes, has made a commitment to focus the legal funding portion of their business exclusively on post-settlement funding. Virtually all legal finance companies concentrate their efforts on either pre-settlement advances or commercial litigation funding. “This is logical, as the vast majority of demand in the legal finance space exists within these categories,” says Joseph Genovesi, CEO of Balanced Bridge. “However, there is still a demand for post-settlement advances, mainly for plaintiffs’ attorneys, but also their clientele in certain scenarios where there is an extensive post-settlement payout delay. It is our goal to dominate this niche by providing affordable rates, transparent terms, and lightning fast turnaround.” While it is true that some legal funding companies offer post-settlement advances to their clients in addition to their primary financial services, they are often unable to provide the full amount of capital required by the attorney or plaintiff requesting an advance. Because Balanced Bridge only focuses on settled case funding, they are uniquely equipped to offer the maximum advance amount as quickly as possible due to their streamlined underwriting process and large capital pool dedicated exclusively to financing post-settlement deals. “Balanced Bridge was created to provide financing to professionals with special funding requests not serviced by traditional lenders,” says Patrick Conlin, Managing Director of Balanced Bridge. “We can provide fast financial relief to attorneys working on a contingency fee basis as well as their clientele by accelerating a portion of their delayed post-settlement receivables.” Balanced Bridge purchases a portion of its clients’ future receivables. In turn, they advance funds against the purchased amount, allowing the client to quickly access their money instead of becoming indebted to a lender. The result is a novel, fast, and affordable cash flow solution. The principals of Balanced Bridge, Joseph Genovesi and Patrick Conlin, have over 30 years of combined experience in the alternative finance space. Mr. Genovesi was the head of an alternative finance company. Prior to that, he served as president of a $200 million legal funding company and was the senior vice president at an alternative advisory firm. Mr. Conlin was an advisor to growth companies across multiple industries advising on matters related to mergers and acquisitions and raising capital. Are you a plaintiffs’ attorney or plaintiff with a slow-paying settled case? Balanced Bridge is uniquely equipped to provide you the maximum advance amount possible with fair rates and transparent terms.

Burford’s Q2 Profits Surge on New Capital

By John Freund |

Burford Capital has delivered its strongest quarterly performance in two years, buoyed by a swelling pipeline of high-value disputes and a fresh infusion of investor cash.

A press release in PR Newswire reveals that the New York- and London-listed funder more than doubled revenue and profitability in the three months to 30 June 2025. CEO Christopher Bogart credited “very substantial levels of new business” for the uptick, noting that demand for non-recourse financing remains “as strong as we’ve ever seen.”

The stellar quarter follows a lightning-quick, two-day debt offering in July that raised $500 million—capital Burford says will be deployed across a growing roster of commercial litigations, international arbitrations, and asset-recovery campaigns. Management also highlighted significant progress in portfolio rotations, underscoring the firm’s ability to monetise older positions while writing new ones at scale. Investors will get a deeper dive when Burford hosts its earnings call today at 9 a.m. EDT.

Burford’s results arrive amid heightened regulatory chatter in Washington and Westminster, yet the numbers suggest the industry’s largest player is unfazed—for now—by talk of disclosure mandates and tax levies. The firm emphasised that its legal-finance, risk-management and asset-recovery businesses remain uncorrelated to broader markets, a pitch that continues to resonate with pension funds and endowments hunting for alternative yield.

For litigation-finance insiders, Burford’s capital-raising prowess and improving margins could have ripple effects: rival funders may face stiffer competition for marquee cases, while law-firm partners might leverage the firm’s deeper pockets to negotiate richer portfolio deals.

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.
