EUGENE, Ore.April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — TriMark Legal Funding LLC, one of the nation’s leading pre-settlement funding companies since 2003, announced today that, due to overwhelming popularity, it has extended its financial relief initiative originally launched on March 24th to provide $3,500 in immediate cash assistance to people nationwide who are currently involved in civil lawsuits and have been negatively impacted by Coronavirus/COVID-19. No ending date has been set.

Plaintiffs nationwide are strongly encouraged to apply for risk-free pre-settlement funding from TriMark to take advantage of this truly unprecedented, automatic-approval initiative.

Tens of millions of Americans have involuntarily become unemployed due to mandatory stay-at-home quarantines and millions of business closures. TriMark Legal Funding is committed to helping every eligible person by providing $3,500 automatic-approval pre-settlement loans. There are no credit checks, no employment requirements, and no out-of-pocket expenses and lawsuit funding approval is based on the merits of an underlying lawsuit.

This offer is available nationwide to plaintiffs in civil lawsuits who need cash now, before their cases settle.

To apply right now, please visit https://tlfllc.com/coronavirus-pre-settlement-funding or call (877) 932-2628 and one of our friendly representatives will be happy to assist you. Due to much heavier than normal call volume, the fastest way to receive immediate approval is to apply online.

How Coronavirus Lawsuit Loans Work

Plaintiffs with qualifying cases* and no prior funding can apply for an immediate $3,500 no-documentation, automatic-approval lawsuit cash advance. Existing clients and anyone with prior settlement loans from any other company are ineligible for this offer. TriMark has eliminated its documentation requirements and has also waived its normal underwriting fees.

Here is what TriMark needs:

1). Completed application
2). Copy of plaintiff’s driver’s license or state-issued ID
3). A brief conversation with plaintiff’s attorney

Pre-settlement funding agreements are executed electronically via DocuSign and funds can be wired directly into a plaintiff’s checking account or sent FedEx Overnight in as little as 24 hours.

TriMark can provide non-recourse settlement funding from $500 up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on an individual’s case and financial needs.

For requests over $3,500, accept the $3,500 first, then request additional funding. Documentation and case evaluation are required for additional funding requests, all requests over $3,500, and all requests requiring the buyout of prior advances.

Thomas Colwell, CEO of TriMark Legal Funding commented, “Many plaintiffs involved in pending litigation were already struggling financially before the Coronavirus pandemic. Now, after nearly 6 weeks of mandatory quarantines and with no real end in sight yet, many of those same people are out of money, out of time, out of options, and they are scared. To make matters worse, months of court closures are going to cause an already lengthy legal process to take even longer. TriMark created this program to be a lifeline to plaintiffs who are in dire financial straits right now and need help immediately.”

TriMark Legal Funding can consider funding on most personal injury lawsuits including car, truck, motorcycle, drunk driving, and motor vehicle accidents and train, subway, and pedestrian accidents. Catastrophic injuries like crush injuries, burn injuries, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries, medical malpractice, and wrongful death. Premises liability cases like dog bites, nursing home abuse, slip and fall accidents, and serious injuries on commercial property. Product liability includes cases like dangerous drugs and defective medical devices such as IVC filters, recalled hip replacements, and hernia mesh. Civil rights violations include police brutality, police misconduct, sexual abuse or assault, prison staff misconduct, and wrongful imprisonment. TriMark also considers employment lawsuits like discrimination, retaliation, whistleblower, wrongful termination, and sexual harassment in the workplace, plus work-related injuries like construction accidents, Jones Act maritime injuries, and FELA railroad workers injuries.

Disclaimer – TriMark Legal Funding offers non-recourse lawsuit cash advances. While commonly referred to as lawsuit loans, settlement loans, lawsuit settlement loans, etc., they are not technically loans. A non-recourse lawsuit cash advance requires no monthly payments and repayment is contingent upon a successful settlement or jury verdict. If the case is lost or does not settle, the plaintiff does not repay the advance.

*Residents of some states are ineligible for this offer due to state laws or internal funding restrictions. Please see https://tlfllc.com/coronavirus-pre-settlement-funding for restrictions and exclusions.

New Burford Capital Research Reveals Significant Opportunities for Businesses Through Patent Monetization

By Harry Moran |

Burford Capital, the leading global finance and asset management firm focused on law, today releases new research on patent monetization, a means for businesses with significant intellectual property to generate revenue from patent assets through licensing, direct enforcement and corporate divestitures. With high research and development costs, long development timelines and intense IP competition, CFOs and GCs are faced with the challenge of seeking greater value from their companies' patent portfolios without diverting capital from core business operations. Moreover, converting underutilized intellectual property into liquid assets enables companies to fuel ongoing innovation and drive future growth.

Despite substantial investments in securing and maintaining patents, many companies fall short in leveraging their intellectual property—resulting in missed financial opportunities and ongoing costs that could otherwise be offset through monetization. This research shows companies shifting to a more proactive stance toward patent monetization as they face mounting economic pressures, rising costs of maintaining large patent portfolios and headline-generating enforcements and divestitures by major brands that increase acceptance. Nearly 70% of in-house lawyers say their organizations are more likely to monetize patents today than a decade ago, and 73% report that patent monetization revenue has grown over the last 10 years.

"Patent monetization remains a significantly underutilized asset for many businesses," said Christopher Bogart, CEO of Burford Capital. "Companies frequently hold valuable patents that require substantial investment to enforce, incurring significant expense—risk we routinely finance for clients. In today's climate of intensifying global competition and rapidly evolving IP enforcement landscapes, legal finance empowers companies to strengthen their patent monetization strategies and take a more proactive, value-driven approach to IP management."

"Companies have a significant opportunity to unlock value from their intellectual property," said Katharine Wolanyk, Managing Director at Burford Capital and head of its intellectual property and patent litigation finance division. "In conversations with CFOs and general counsel across industries, we frequently hear that patent portfolios are viewed as cost centers rather than assets, and this research substantiates that assertion. Legal finance offers a powerful solution by transforming underutilized IP assets into a source of liquidity that can fuel business priorities and allow companies to continue the essential cycle of innovation."

Key findings from the study include:

  • Companies are missing revenue opportunities: Even as patent monetization is increasing, 79% of in-house lawyers say that more than a quarter of their patent portfolio is underutilized. The costs of maintaining patents without monetization include lost revenue, delayed market entry and reduced market share.
  • Revenue generated by patent monetization is growing: 73% of in-house lawyers report that revenue from patent monetization has increased over the last 10 years and 69% of in-house lawyers say their organizations have become more likely to monetize patents in the past decade.
  • Divestiture is a fast-growing monetization strategy: 71% of in-house lawyers have already divested patents or are actively exploring divestiture options.
  • Clients can de-risk direct enforcement with finance: 72% of law firm lawyers cite the high cost of litigation as a deterrent to clients pursuing meritorious patent claims.
  • Legal finance plays a growing role in patent monetization: 59% of law firm lawyers say clients use legal finance for patent monetization; 51% of in-house lawyers say they are actively planning or exploring the use of legal finance to support patent enforcement and monetization going forward.
  • Global patent monetization is active: The US remains the top market for patent monetization due to strong enforcement mechanisms. The Unified Patent Court (UPC) is driving change in Europe, with 74% of in-house lawyers expecting increased enforcement in the region.

This research, commissioned by Burford and conducted by GLG, captures insights from 300 in-house IP counsel and law firm partners involved in patent litigation in North America, Europe and Asia.

The research report can be downloaded on Burford's website.

IQuote Limited Strengthens Senior Leadership Team with New Director Appointment

By Harry Moran |

Manchester-based litigation finance firm IQuote Limited has bolstered its senior leadership team with the appointment of a new Director of Campaigns, reinforcing its commitment to expansion and innovation in the sector.

Stepping into the role is Katie Doherty, an experienced litigation finance specialist with a track record of driving growth and operational success. 

She has held senior positions at various law firms prior and has worked alongside IQuote CEO Craig Cornick for over 15 years across multiple roles.

Katie said she was both delighted and grateful for the opportunity and expressed a keen desire to get started as soon as possible. 

“It’s an incredibly exciting time for IQuote as we continue expanding our legal tech partnerships and investing in new opportunities,” Katie said.  “This is a fast-moving industry, and I’m looking forward to leading campaigns that will drive the firm’s next stage of growth.

“I can’t wait to get stuck in. IQuote has evolved massively in respect of its business offerings, the firms we are investing in, and the different campaigns we are now exploring. You have to be constantly thinking on your feet; there’s never a dull moment.”

Originally aspiring to become a solicitor, Doherty began her career in legal administration before transitioning into finance and business strategy.  She first collaborated with Craig in 2010, playing a key role in business operations, asset management, and claims handling. 

Katie thanked her team at IQuote for all their help and support.

“They have all been fantastic, and I have so much admiration for Craig,” she said.

“For him nothing is impossible; if you say, ‘it can’t be done,’ he will immediately tell you that it can and how you can make it happen.”

Craig Cornick, CEO of IQuote Limited, said: “Katie has been instrumental in the success of multiple businesses I’ve led, and her ability to think strategically while keeping operations running smoothly is unmatched.

“She knows how to build and execute campaigns that deliver real results, and that’s exactly what we need as we continue to scale. Her expertise in litigation finance, combined with her hands-on leadership style, makes her a perfect fit for this role.

“She’s got an incredible work ethic also. From the very start, Katie has always been willing to roll up her sleeves and do whatever it takes to get the job done. 

“Whether it was managing complex operations or jumping in to solve unexpected challenges, she’s always been a problem-solver. That kind of determination is what sets her apart and why I’m confident she’ll drive real impact in this position.”
