Highlights

  • The project relates to an open class action LCM funded on behalf of certain former shareholders in a resources company formerly listed on the ASX
  • Expected to contribute between A$8-10 million to EBITDA for the current financial year to 30 June 2019; with all capital invested also being recovered
  • Favourable metrics for the project with the expectation of returns ahead of the last reported cumulative performance
  • The litigation project was managed to this settlement in principle in approximately 21 months
  • Fourth litigation project that LCM will complete in the current financial year
  • The settlement in principle of the class action will be documented in a Deed of Settlement that is expected to be executed shortly

The project relates to an open class action LCM funded on behalf of certain former shareholders in a
resources company formerly listed on the ASX. The other party is an international professional
services company and prior to a final hearing (scheduled before the Supreme Court of New South
Wales), both parties participated in a mediation where the settlement in principle was reached.

The settlement in principle of the class action will be documented in a Deed of Settlement that is
expected to be executed shortly. The terms of the settlement are confidential, and the settlement is
then subject to court approval. Class actions represent one of several types of litigation projects that
LCM provides funding for across single-case and portfolio funding, as well as international
arbitration, commercial claims and claims arising out of insolvency.

Patrick Moloney, CEO of LCM, said: 

“This settlement in principle demonstrates LCM’s experience in class actions in Australia, while producing favourable metrics through active project management. We have delivered a successful resolution for former shareholders in this resources company within a relatively short time period for a class action of this type.

“We remain encouraged by all the opportunities LCM is seeing as a London listed company and while class actions are part of our heritage, we have a diverse portfolio and pipeline of litigation projects including insolvency, international arbitration and corporate portfolios.”

By Harry Moran and 4 others |

Angeion Group (“Angeion”), the industry leader in end-to-end group litigation support, announced today its merger with Case Works, a premier provider of case data management solutions, including client engagement, medical record retrieval, medical review, and inventory analysis. Neutral, but never passive, this strategic integration of Case Works reinforces Angeion’s forward thinking approach to providing seamless tech-enabled support for complex litigation firms and leading law departments, with efficiency and precision.

The merger of Angeion and Case Works follows majority investments into both companies by private equity firm Renovus Capital Partners (“Renovus”) in 2024. Angeion also acquired bankruptcy administration solutions provider Donlin Recano in late 2024. Renovus worked alongside the companies’ founders and management teams to unify the businesses and deliver a seamless experience for clients and employees throughout the integration.

Case Works has earned a reputation of excellence by ensuring accuracy, completeness, and applicability of case data to support legal requirements. By combining their core capabilities with Angeion’s advanced technology and data-driven approach, this merger further solidifies Angeion’s position as the most trusted partner for navigating complex, high-stakes litigation and settlements.

Effective large-scale litigation and settlements rely on comprehensive, well-organized data and the ability to apply that data effectively within the context of a particular project. Combining Case Works’ proven excellence in capturing and managing critical case information with Angeion Group’s expertise in technology, process efficiency and claims management, provides a more structured, more transparent, and more effective approach to large-scale litigation and settlement management.

“Case Works brings deep expertise and a proven track record of supporting firms with large data and medical record retrieval needs. They are known for their dedication to precision, care and bedside manner,” said Steven Weisbrot, CEO of Angeion Group. “Together, we are raising the bar for what clients can expect—faster, more accurate processes and a commitment to white glove service.”

Angeion Group and Case Works share a common vision: to set the new standard for how large-scale litigation and group settlement support can combine technological efficiency with thoughtful human interaction. Both organizations are driven by a commitment to innovation, precision, and efficiency and are mindful that litigants should expect and receive compassion and respect throughout the group litigation process. This merger will elevate industry standards and ensure that all parties, their council, and the courts benefit from a more streamlined, thoughtful and effective process.

“We’re excited to join forces with Angeion Group,” said Susan Barfield, Founder of Case Works. “Their commitment to innovation and client service aligns perfectly with our own, and we look forward to delivering even greater value to the firms and clients we support.”

“We’re honored to have partnered with these leading companies, building upon our strong track record in tech-enabled legal services,” added Lee Minkoff, Managing Director at Renovus. “We’d also like to thank founders Steve Weisbrot and Susan Barfield for their leadership throughout this game changing merger for the group litigation support industry.”

Legal-Bay Lawsuit Funder Launches Legal Funding Calculator for Consumers

By Harry Moran and 4 others |

Legal Bay Presettlement Funding announces their new funding calculator for customers to compare pricing models of lawsuit loans between funding firms. It should be noted that Legal Bay doesn't charge compounding interest like many other legal funding companies, keeping payback costs lower right from the start. As one of the best lawsuit loan companies in the industry, Legal Bay ensures flat pricing, transparent contracts, and a helpful, knowledgeable staff to walk you through every step of the lawsuit loan funding process.

  3. Being a direct funder allows Legal Bay to provide lawsuit loans with cap out provisions for cases that qualify without additional broker fees.
  4. Compound rates can grow substantially over the course of your case settlement funding, while flat interest stays the same at about 20% percent every 6 months.
  5. Legal Bay's lawsuit settlement programs are non-recourse which means the client will not have to pay back the loan if the case does not settle.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, commented, "Our funding calculator gives consumers an invaluable tool to compare payback costs. Plaintiffs will see that our direct funder platform means you deal directly with our staff and underwriters—not a broker. Our direct funding model allows for the fastest approvals, reduced rates, and no added broker fees, keeping your costs low. Legal-Bay's flat pricing—as opposed to compounding interest—and our best price guarantee ensures the lowest rates in the litigation finance industry. On large funding amounts, consumers should be aware of payback costs. The savings of Legal-Bay's flat-rate pricing versus contracts with compounding interest can be substantial."

That means there's no risk when it comes to loans in lawsuit settlements because there is no obligation to repay the money if the recipient loses their case.
