Legal-Bay is reaffirming the fact that they will be focusing on funding commercial litigation cases for the remainder of 2015, including verdict and judgment on appeal cases, large employment dispute cases, and whistleblower suits such as the case at hand. Legal-Bay has always been a leader in lawsuit funding cash advances, however, they are putting an extra focus on assisting plaintiffs by providing large lawsuit funding amounts on complex commercial litigation cases.

Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay and Head of Commercial Litigation Funding, commented on the whistleblower suit and Legal-Bay's focus on similar cases in 2015, "Whistleblower and employment cases can be complicated at times, but our company has a strong focus in this area because as you can see in this NYPD case, the awards can be large."

Legal-Bay has funded both plaintiffs and attorneys who need attorney funding to prosecute a large commercial litigation case or a case in which a large judgment has been obtained and is expected to be appealed.
