BUFFALO, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 5, 2026 / A plaintiff litigation firm secured a $30 million+ financing transaction from a large alternative asset manager to support internal succession planning, with capital structured to enable the transition of ownership to the next generation of partners. The transaction was supported by a portfolio of single event personal injury matters and reflects a specialized application of litigation finance to law firm ownership and continuity planning.

Counsel Financial acted as originator and structuring advisor to the firm, working closely with leadership to design and execute a financing solution that enabled senior partners to monetize equity while positioning the firm for long-term continuity and growth.
