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: https://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: https://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.

Court of Appeal Shuts Down BHP’s Attempt to Overturn Mariana Liability Judgment

By John Freund |

The Court of Appeal of England and Wales today refused BHP’s application for permission to appeal the High Court’s landmark liability judgment in the Mariana disaster litigation.

The High Court found BHP responsible for the 2015 collapse of the Fundão tailings dam in Mariana, Minas Gerais, Brazil, concluding that BHP is liable for the disaster under both the Brazilian Civil and Environmental law.

The Court of Appeal heard BHP’s application for permission to appeal the decision on 12 March after BHP was refused permission to appeal by the High Court in January.  BHP asked the court for permission to contest the findings that it was a polluter, and that it had knowledge of the risks associated with the dam before the collapse. The mining company also challenged the finding that all claimants brought their claims in time.

The Court of Appeal’s refusal marks a further victory for the hundreds of thousands of Brazilian victims who have spent over ten years pursuing justice, and a major setback for BHP. The High Court’s liability judgment remains in force, and BHP has exhausted the ordinary routes by which it could seek to overturn it.

In today’s ruling, the court concluded that BHP’s proposed grounds of appeal have no real prospect of success and there is no other compelling reason for the appeal to be heard.  The decision means that the parties will proceed to the trial of Stage 2 of the proceedings, which will determine issues of causation, loss and damages. The trial evidence is to be heard from April 2027 to December 2027, with closing submissions listed for March 2028.

Lord Justice Fraser wrote in the decision: “I do not accept that any of the grounds relating to BHP’s liability for the dam collapse are reasonably arguable. I do not consider that there is any foundation for the different complaints that the trial judge failed to engage with BHP’s case."

Jonathan Wheeler, lead partner for the Mariana litigation at Pogust Goodhead, said: “The Court of Appeal has now joined the High Court in finding that BHP’s grounds of appeal have no real prospect of success - an emphatic and unambiguous outcome. BHP remains liable for the worst environmental disaster in Brazil’s history, and it will not be given another bite at the cherry.”

“Our clients have waited more than a decade for justice while BHP pursued every procedural avenue to avoid accountability; those avenues are now closed. We are focused on securing the compensation that hundreds of thousands of Brazilians have been owed for far too long.”

Loopa Finance Wins at the Lexology European Awards 2026 in the Litigation / General Counsel Category

By John Freund |

Loopa Finance has been recognized as the winner in the Litigation – General Counsel Team category at the Lexology European Awards 2026, one of the leading recognitions in the international legal sector.

The award was received in London by Ignacio Delgado, General Counsel Europe at the firm, on behalf of Loopa Finance’s European team, composed of Ignacio Delgado (General Counsel Europe), Marina Gouveia (Investment Manager), Fernando Pérez Lozada (Senior Investment Manager), and Fernando Folgueiro (Managing Partner).

The Lexology European Awards recognize outstanding legal teams across the region through a methodology that combines independent research, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and thousands of nominations supported by clients and industry peers, as well as the annual research conducted by the Lexology Index (formerly Who’s Who Legal) and Client Choice.

The selection process is based on performance evaluations related to effective communication, commercial understanding, technical expertise, strategic management, and team strength, and is supported by a global community of more than 940,000 subscribers.

This recognition positions Loopa Finance’s European team among the leading practitioners in complex litigation and strategic legal management in Europe.

“This award reflects the strength of a team operating across two continents that understands litigation not only from a legal perspective, but also through financial analysis and risk management. It is the result of collective work and a rigorous, strategic approach to structuring complex disputes,” said Delgado during the ceremony.

More Than an Award: Validation of a Model

The award comes at a time of consolidation for the firm. Loopa Finance recently completed its rebranding process, evolving from Qanlex to Loopa Finance and reinforcing an identity aligned with its growth in continental Europe and its broader international positioning.

It also coincides with the closing of Fund III, raising €65 million to finance complex litigation and arbitration across Europe and Latin America, significantly expanding the firm’s investment capacity and supporting the continued growth of its platform in the region.

This milestone adds to the firm’s recent rankings, including its Band 1 classification by Chambers & Partners in Latin America and Europe, its recognition as “Highly Recommended” by Leaders League across multiple jurisdictions, and the inclusion of members of its team among the Thought Leaders in Third-Party Funding by the Lexology Index. Together, these results confirm the strength of Loopa Finance’s model and the consolidation of its team as a reference in the strategic financing of disputes at an international level.

About Loopa Finance

The firm provides capital to cover legal costs or monetize ongoing claims through non-recourse structures, where the recovery of the investment depends exclusively on the successful outcome of the case, assuming the financial risk of the dispute while fully aligning its interests with those of clients and law firms.

Pravati Capital Partners with SEI to Bring Litigation Finance to Registered Investment Advisors

By John Freund |

One of the oldest litigation finance firms in the United States has announced a strategic partnership aimed at expanding mainstream investor access to the asset class.

As reported by Business Wire via Yahoo Finance, Scottsdale-based Pravati Capital has partnered with financial services firm SEI to provide registered investment advisors with structured access to litigation finance as an alternative investment option. The collaboration will leverage SEI's distribution platform to make litigation funding opportunities available within advisor portfolios.

The partnership reflects growing institutional interest in litigation finance as an alternative asset class. Historically, litigation funding has been difficult for mainstream financial advisors to access on behalf of their clients, with the market largely dominated by specialized funds and institutional investors. The Pravati-SEI arrangement seeks to bridge that gap by creating a more accessible pathway for advisors seeking diversification through non-correlated investments.

The announcement underscores a broader industry shift as litigation finance continues to move from a niche strategy toward greater acceptance within traditional wealth management channels. As the global litigation funding market grows — projected to reach over $25 billion in 2026 — partnerships like this one may signal a new phase of institutional adoption.
