Legal-Bay Settlement Funding Announces Extended Filing Deadline For Victims Of Sexual Abuse

Legal-Bay Settlement Funding Announces Extended Filing Deadline For Victims Of Sexual Abuse

JERSEY CITY, N.J.Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Pre Settlement Funding Company, reports a win for the victims of child sexual abuse at the hands of clergy members. After years of fighting, Governor Phil Murphy signed a law that offers victims of abuse the ability to sue their abusers up until they turn 55, or within seven years of their realization that the abuse caused them harm. Additionally, victims formerly excluded by the previous statute of limitations now have two years to file lawsuits seeking damages from the churches and dioceses that covered up the abuse. The bill will go into effect on December 1, 2019. If you or a loved one require an immediate cash advance from your clergy or Catholic church sexual abuse case, please visit the company’s website:  http://lawsuitssettlementfunding.com or call: 877.571.0405 Chris Janish, CEO, commented on the company’s focus of assisting plaintiffs in similar situations, “While these cases are appalling and heartbreaking, it’s important for our company to inform the public of their options. Nothing can compensate for the lifetime trauma of childhood abuse, but with the new extended deadlines, adult victims will now be able to receive monetary reparations for their pain and suffering.” Legal-Bay is an advocate for victims of sexual abuse across the country, and is well-versed in clergy abuse litigation, especially in situations where Catholic churches have filed for bankruptcy to limit their payouts. Even in those cases, the pre settlement cash company was able to provide a lawsuit cash advance to victims across the country, including NY and NJ. If you have already filed a clergy or Catholic Church sexual abuse lawsuit, you can apply for presettlement funding at:  http://lawsuitssettlementfunding.com or call: 877.571.0405 Legal-Bay’s programs are non-recourse lawsuit cash advances, also known as case funding, which means you only repay the settlement advance if you win your case. None of the programs should be considered to be a lawsuit loan, lawsuit loans, settlement loans, settlement loan, pre-settlement loans, or a pre-settlement loan. SOURCE Legal-Bay LLC

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.
