MedResolve Offers Unique and Innovative Personal Injury Legal and Medical Funding Products

Harrison, New York based Altuitive Partners LLC (Altuitive), an investment management company led by alternative investment veteran, Robert Cannon CFF, MBA, AIFA, announces the launch of MedResolve, a litigation financing company dedicated to providing funding solutions to personal injury plaintiffs, healthcare professionals and attorneys.

The company was founded by a group of dedicated professionals with decades of experience in finance, law and health care services, resulting in an unrivaled offering of services. Spearheading the day to day operations of the Company is Richard Berman, who brings more than 15 years of experience, both in the legal field, and since 2016, as an underwriter and originator of nearly $100 million in personal injury litigation fundings on thousands of underlying cases.

Being injured in an accident can be a life altering experience, causing disruptions such as lost time from work, long-term disability and the need for specialized medical care. MedResolve helps alleviate this burden and allows personal injury plaintiffs to turn a portion of their future settlement into cash by offering non-recourse advances for life needs, expenses and true to the company’s name, surgical advances to help uninsured patients fund the cost of surgery that is related to the ongoing case. Unlike traditional loans, these fundings are structured as purchases of the plaintiff’s future settlement or award.

MedResolve also helps medical professionals who treat injured plaintiffs and the attorneys who represent such injured plaintiffs accelerate the collection of a portion of their medical bill or legal fee receivables by offering practice-specific factoring and revenue cycle management solutions to normalize income streams and help these professionals grow their business.

To learn more about MedResolve and its personal injury funding solutions for plaintiffs, doctors and lawyers, please call (866) 744-5242 to speak with a funding representative. Or visit www.med-resolve.com.

Golden Pear Upsizes Corporate Note to $78.7M Amid Growth Plans

By John Freund |

Golden Pear Funding has extended and upsized its investment-grade corporate note to $78.7 million, further bolstering the firm's capacity to serve the expanding litigation finance sector. The New York-based funder, a national leader in both pre-settlement and medical receivables financing, said the proceeds will support working capital and fuel strategic growth initiatives.

A press release from Golden Pear outlines how the capital raise reflects continued investor confidence in the firm’s business model. CEO Gary Amos noted that the infusion is critical as Golden Pear seeks to scale alongside the “rapidly expanding litigation finance market.” CFO Daniel Amsellem added that the new funding aligns with the company’s capital allocation strategy, aimed at optimizing operational efficiency and executing strategic projects.

Brean Capital, LLC acted as the exclusive financial advisor and sole placement agent on the transaction.

Founded in 2008, Golden Pear has funded more than $1.1 billion to over 87,000 clients and remains one of the largest specialty finance companies in the U.S. Its business model spans legal case funding and medical receivables purchasing, with backing from a network of private equity partners that provide institutional support for continued expansion.

LionFish Updates Model Documents in Response to CJC Report

By John Freund |

LionFish Litigation Finance Ltd has released a new suite of model litigation funding documents, updating its original set from February 2021. The revision comes on the heels of the Civil Justice Council's (CJC) Final Report on Litigation Funding, issued on 2 June 2025, which calls for a regulatory structure informed by best practices, including key principles published by the European Law Institute (ELI) in October 2024.

A LionFish press release details that the updated suite incorporates several of the ELI Principles (notably 4-12) and broader CJC recommendations, except where doing so would require legislative or procedural reform. LionFish's goal, according to Managing Director Tets Ishikawa, is not to dictate market norms but to foster industry-wide standardisation and efficiency. This proactive move is also intended to spark further collaboration between funders, insurers, and legal practitioners to develop trade practices akin to those in mature financial markets, such as those promoted by the Loan Market Association and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.

The new suite includes three core documents: a litigation funding agreement, a priorities deed to define proceeds distribution, and an assignment deed for insurance benefits. Notably, LionFish has also added documentation for co-investment arrangements, reflecting a growing trend in syndicated funding deals. The funder has already closed seven such transactions.

Managing Director Tanya Lansky emphasised that while litigation funding remains complex, making documentation public enhances transparency and facilitates quicker deal closings—an essential factor for sustaining market growth.

As litigation finance continues to mature, this move by LionFish highlights a shift toward professionalisation and standardisation. With regulators increasingly focused on transparency and fairness, such initiatives may set a de facto benchmark for others in the industry. The question remains: will other funders follow suit, or will regulatory mandates be needed to compel alignment?
