Legal-Bay Lawsuit Funding Enters Attorney Funding Market with Law Firm Loans Up to $25MM

Legal-Bay, The Pre Settlement Lawsuit Funding Company, announced today that they are now assisting a large number of attorneys with their funding needs. The premier lawsuit funding company is currently working with lawyers and law firms, generating a renewed focus on cash flow needs that may have arisen due to Covid-19 shutdowns and a severely slowed court system.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented, “We have secured ample capital in our quest to assist our many law firm clients. We’re able to get them the money they require to help them carry on with their professional needs, as case settlements have slowed down due to Covid-19. Legal-Bay is now positioned to be a full-service funding firm–and invaluable resource–for law firms and their clients alike by helping with cash-flow needs and building case value through our multitude of funding products.”

If you are a lawyer or law firm who needs an immediate cash advance and are interested in discussing how law firm loans can help you, please visit Legal-Bay HERE or call toll-free at 877.571.0405.

When it comes to case cost funding, funding for experts, trial cost, or medical procedure / surgical funding for a client, attorney loans are invaluable to lawyers and medical providers. Many law firms have walked away from great cases because they couldn’t pull the funding together for personal injury clients that don’t have insurance. Also, smaller firms sometimes need to bring in additional counsel for bigger cases because they cannot self-fund things like expert costs, excessive trial costs, or general case costs needed to properly prosecute a valid claim.

Plus, now that surgery centers are strapped for cash as well due to Covid they are more hesitant to undertake personal injury surgery on lien or Letter of Protection (LOP). Now, law firms can go to Legal-Bay to help finance the surgery by paying the medical provider upfront. This greatly improves the case value for the client, and the medical provider is more than willing to work with the law firm. Legal-Bay can structure large and small transactions mostly on a non-recourse basis depending on the nature of each transaction.

Legal-Bay has helped lawyers in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, California, Texas, and Ohio, but they work with attorneys from all states, even outside of NY, NJ, FL, PA, CA, TX, and OH. Let them provide immediate capital to scale your operation with credit lines up to $25MM. They are a leader in the industry with access to large capital portfolio companies. They offer the fastest approvals with less underwriting than traditional banks, and interest rates/usage fees have simple terms ranging from 12% to 40% per annum with no upfront fees or hidden costs built into the contracts. They can tailor transactions and paybacks, so your cash-flow remains strong. Legal-Bay’s goal is to work tirelessly to help get your firm the capital it requires.

If you are a lawyer or law firm who needs an immediate attorney loan or law firm loan, please visit Legal-Bay HERE or call toll-free at 877.571.0405.

Keep in mind, there are some key requirements to be eligible for funding:

1. Diversified portfolio of personal injury cases and/or other contingency fee type cases

2. Track record of success in settling and/or trial wins

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.
