Mustang Litigation Funding Selects Theo Ai to Transform Case Underwriting with AI-Powered Insights

By Harry Moran |

Theo Ai, the first predictive AI platform for litigation, today announced a strategic partnership with Mustang Litigation Funding, a litigation finance company. By leveraging Theo Ai’s predictive engine to automate the case review process, Mustang can confidently select cases faster with a greater rate of success. On the heels of Theo’s $2.2M funding in November, this collaboration exemplifies Theo’s ability to provide strategic insights for a company’s existing portfolio, and it puts Mustang at the forefront of AI-powered advancements, utilizing their extensive proprietary database to create a custom-fit algorithm tailored just for their needs.

Mustang has funded over $170MM in cases across the U.S. to provide innovative litigation funding solutions. While demand for their services is high, reviewing thousands of cases quickly and accurately can lead to a bottleneck. Theo Ai solves this problem by delivering a tool that is capable of automating the task of finding “winners” and delivering insights into case probability. With AI trained on historical and proprietary data along with real-time analytics, Theo Ai boosts confidence in case selection, accelerates workflows and due diligence, and ensures compliance. Additionally, Theo Ai streamlines the review of case records to ensure comprehensive insights and improved accuracy in case evaluations. Included in the collaboration, Mustang will have access to the Theo Ai platform that identifies and unlocks new funding opportunities faster than ever before.

“At Mustang Litigation Funding, we’re always looking for the latest in tech-focused solutions to benefit our clients,” says Seth Rieger, CTO of Mustang Litigation Funding. “With Theo Ai, Mustang is advancing towards a future in which it will be able to consistently and reliably evaluate cases within seconds to pinpoint high-value opportunities. By harnessing the efficiency of AI, we believe we will be setting a new standard in litigation funding.”

“We’re thrilled to empower Mustang’s customer portfolio with Theo Ai. By automating compliance checks and reducing the risk of manual errors, Theo Ai can speed up the deal-closing process with confidence and improved accuracy,” says Patrick Ip, CEO and Co-Founder of Theo Ai. “By improving case selection by just 1% annually, Mustang and its partners will profit from increased ROI and additional revenue. Not only will this benefit Mustang when prospecting new cases but will also unveil strategic insights into their existing clientele.”

The partnership allows Mustang Litigation Funding to reduce losses by avoiding low-return cases and enhance revenues by focusing on high-probability, high-yield cases, all while saving valuable time with automation. This marks a pivotal step forward for law professionals and the legal industry as a whole. By combining Mustang’s commitment to supporting individuals and law firms seeking justice with Theo Ai’s groundbreaking predictive technology, the two are setting the benchmark for efficiency, precision, and success in litigation funding.

Sentry Expands Free Funding Market Search for Litigators

By John Freund |

Sentry Funding’s free tool enabling litigators to instantly search the funding market on behalf of clients has been expanded.

Sentry’s free ‘decision in principle’ feature enables lawyers to evidence to clients that they have conducted a broad market search, even if funding is not ultimately taken out.

Having deployed £125m in funding across a range of case types, Sentry now has access to an even broader funding marketplace, covering 34 global jurisdictions. Finance is provided by 13 funders, five of which are members of the Association of Litigation Funders.

With the recent addition of Sentry’s first US-based funder, the US offering will now be expanding over the next few months. 

A faster process

Sentry has deployed the latest technology to make the search for funding even easier. 

  • The intuitive application process now only asks questions relevant to previous answers, saving lawyers time.
  • The commercial marketplace has been redeveloped with 63 new data points added to the funder criteria matrix - improving the accuracy of case / funder matching
  • Sentry has also begun building out its AI capabilities, starting with an automated auditing tool for live case progression audits. 

Tom Webster, chief executive officer at Sentry Funding, said:

‘By broadening our reach and speeding up the process, we’re making it even easier for lawyers to raise funding. We’re also giving litigators an easy way to show clients they have fully researched the market, rather than just approaching one or two funders. 

‘The service is free to use, so even if clients decide they do not ultimately want funding or if none is available for that case, for the lawyer, it makes sense to use our “decision in principle” feature, so they can put evidence on file that they did check the market.’

Sentry Funding is an SaaS (software as a service) technology provider that gives solicitors access to a diverse marketplace of litigation funders. It works with solicitors, funders and third-party providers to ensure claimants are getting the most efficient service for their funding needs. 

The Sentry Portal also acts as a case management system that runs a transparent digital case file for solicitors, funders, after-the-event insurance providers, barristers, cost lawyers and other relevant third parties.

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.
