Legal-Bay Legal Funding Announces Dedication to Legal Malpractice Case Funding

Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Pre-Settlement Funding Company, announced today that they have expanded their branch dedicated to various types of Legal Malpractice Cases. As an industry leader in legal funding and lawsuit funding with various types of lawsuits, Legal-Bay is one of the go-to funders in the legal malpractice arena. This is due to the lawsuit settlement funding company’s expertise and success in helping both law firms and clients obtain the resources they need to fight and win their cases.

Most legal funding companies and lawsuit loan companies do not offer law suit cash advances on legal malpractice suits, mostly out of a desire to avoid commercial litigation and the complexities that come with it. However, Legal-Bay accepts these challenges with ease, knowing they employ an experienced underwriting and investment team that understands these cases well. With this knowledge comes the ability to get their clients the lawsuit cash advances they need now, regardless of how complex the case is in nature.

Many legal malpractice claims arise when an attorney’s decision, action, or misstep results in a loss for their client. These items can include various elements such as missing a statute of limitation filing date, not accepting a settlement agreement, or gross negligence of some kind. The client impacted by the event may then seek to recover said loss, by filing a legal malpractice lawsuit.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented, “Too often, we encounter plaintiffs who’ve suffered grave consequences due to judiciary missteps on their lawyer’s behalf. It is for this reason we are prioritizing these cases and giving them the attention—and capital—they deserve. If you are someone who’s been impacted by lawyer misconduct or legal misconduct, please don’t hesitate to contact Legal-Bay today, regardless if your legal malpractice claim has been denied by other lawsuit funding companies.” 

Legal-Bay considers themselves the best lawsuit funding company in the industry when it comes to this market. Commercial litigation cases can be tricky and very expensive to get approved, but with Legal-Bay’s experienced team they are able to fund many of these cases for significant value. This not only includes plaintiff funding, but also case cost funding, and expert witness cost funding for legal malpractice cases.

To learn more, or to apply for your legal malpractice pre-settlement cash advance or legal malpractice settlement cash advance now, please visit Legal-Bay’s page dedicated solely to these types of cases, at: https://lawsuitssettlementfunding.com/legal-malpractice.php

Legal-Bay’s pre settlement funding programs are designed to provide immediate cash in advance of a plaintiff’s anticipated monetary award. Anyone who has an existing legal malpractice lawsuit or thinks they might have a legal malpractice suit and needs cash now can apply. Due to the fact that the law suit loans don’t need to be repaid unless you win your case, presettlement funding is a risk-free way to get some much-needed cash in your hands—sometimes within mere hours.

Legal-Bay reminds plaintiffs that these lawsuit cash advances, lawsuit loans, or legal malpractice fundings are extremely beneficial in helping to cover expenses due to the malpractice or misconduct at hand. Legal-Bay also assists law firms with case cost expenses, trial cost expenses, or expert witness cost expenses to help lawyers prosecute commercial litigation or legal malpractice claims. 

Legal Malpractice filings have been on the rise over the last few years. Legal-Bay believes the average settlement amount or value for legal malpractice is in the $175K area, however these amounts can be much higher or lower in the $100K range. 

Legal-Bay typically receives inquiries from people asking for a lawsuit loan, loan on lawsuit, loan on settlement, loans on pre settlements, presettlement funding, settlement funding, legal funding, settlement cash advances, or how to get lawsuit money early. Legal-Bay reminds people that their cash advances are not a lawsuit loan, a loan on a pending lawsuit, a settlement loan, or a presettlement loan. They are simply pre-settlement cash advances that one only has to pay back if they win their case. If a client loses their case, there is absolutely no recourse.

To apply right now for the quick approval process on your legal malpractice funding request, please call Legal-Bay’s 24-hour hotline at 877.571.0405 or visit: https://lawsuitssettlementfunding.com/legal-malpractice.php

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.
