Legal-Bay Pre Settlement Funding Announces Increased Focus on IVC Filter Cases

JERSEY CITY, N.J.March 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Legal-Bay LLC, The Pre Settlement Funding Company, announced today that they will be expanding their funding for IVC lawsuits, effectively immediately. IVC filters are devices which inhibit blood clots in patients, preventing pulmonary embolisms. 80% of the filters sold are put out by C.R. Bard (Eclipse brand Vena Cava filterand Cook (Celect brand IVC filter)The two companies have come under fire recently for the devices’ defective manufacturing including perforations, shifting after implantation, filter fractures, and general ineffectiveness. Legal-Bay is a leading personal injury pre-settlement advocate, and works directly with most of the top mass tort law firms to provide the best pre-settlement cash advance rates in the industry in as little as 24 – 48 hours.  Legal-Bay believes that the IVC Litigation is turning in favor of a potential settlement by year-end in which many plaintiffs will have a better estimate of their IVC lawsuit value and possible settlement amounts. Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay commented, “Our close monitoring of the IVC Litigation has indicated  that a settlement range could be announced in 2019. However, nothing is certain at this time as the defendants are still contesting liability. If a settlement is reached, plaintiffs should understand it could take a long time to receive payouts. In light of this, and due to the increased need we are seeing from our clients, we are now putting an extra focus on providing pre settlement funding to IVC filter plaintiffs.” If you are involved in a pending IVC lawsuit and are looking for a pre-settlement cash advance now before your case settles, you can fill out an application form at the company’s website: http://lawsuitssettlementfunding.com If you do not have an attorney, feel free to contact Legal-Bay and they can assist you with retaining a top IVC lawyer or IVC law firm that works with clients that need funding. All of Legal-Bay funding programs are risk-free as you only repay the advance if your case is successful. The non-recourse advance is not a lawsuit loan, settlement loan, or pre-settlement loans.

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.
