CHARLOTTE, NC / ACCESS Newswire / January 13, 2026 / Bay Point Advisors today announced the launch of BayPointLegal.com, a new AI-assisted loan origination and underwriting platform for contingent-fee law firms. The platform supports Bay Point's expanded legal lending strategy by streamlining intake and accelerating time-to-decision while maintaining disciplined, attorney-led underwriting.

The firm also announced that Matt Rimmer has joined Bay Point's Charlotte office to lead Bay Point Legal Lending, overseeing origination, underwriting, monitoring, and borrower experience for the strategy.

Built for Contingent-Fee Economics
Plaintiff firms face a familiar constraint: meaningful upfront case costs and long timelines to recovery, often paired with financing options that are slow, rigid, or not built for contingency-fee revenue. BayPointLegal.com is designed to reduce friction in the underwriting process so qualified firms can move from application to term sheet more efficiently, without lowering the bar on diligence.

"Lawyer-in-the-Loop" Underwriting
Bay Point combines AI-assisted analysis with attorney oversight at every decision point. Technology accelerates data collection and initial portfolio review; experienced lawyers evaluate litigation risk, case dynamics, and firm economics. The goal is straightforward: faster decisions grounded in legal judgment.

Bay Point Legal Lending Focus
Bay Point Legal Lending partners with established contingency-fee firms, with a core focus on personal injury, mass torts, and complex litigation. The platform is also designed to evaluate select opportunities in other litigation-driven practice areas that align with Bay Point's mission, supported by a network of experienced legal experts. Typical financing sizes range from $2 million to $20 million, including:

• Working capital facilities to support operations, hiring, and cash-flow management

• Case-cost and portfolio financing structured around retained cases and projected fee recovery timelines

• Targeted matter financing for capital-intensive opportunities

• Strategic growth capital for firms scaling operations, entering new practice areas, or pursuing acquisitions, structured to avoid unnecessary dilution

Leadership Perspectives
"We saw a gap in the market for a financing partner that helps plaintiff firms take on complex, capital-intensive matters and stay properly resourced as case timelines continue to stretch," said Sean J. Coleman, Managing Director of Legal Finance at Bay Point. "BayPointLegal.com is built to move qualified firms to capital faster while maintaining disciplined underwriting standards. Having Matt lead Legal Lending from our Charlotte office is a meaningful milestone for the platform and for our expanding presence in Charlotte. He has spent more than a decade working alongside plaintiff firms and understands the economics and day-to-day cadence of contingency practice."

"I've spent my career helping lawyers solve operational constraints, whether that's capital access, practice efficiency, or the mechanics of moving cases forward," said Matt Rimmer. "My goal is simple: help law firms that align with Bay Point's mission and investor expectations get access to capital without the usual friction. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to work alongside the professionals at Bay Point and to leverage the team's expansive private credit experience in this niche lending sector. We're building a process that surfaces qualified opportunities quickly, applies rigorous underwriting with attorneys involved at every step, and delivers resources in a way that supports real case progress."

Built on Established Legal Sector Investing Experience
Bay Point has been active in the legal sector since 2021, initially focused on equity investments in litigation and select law firm partnerships. The Legal Lending division builds upon that foundation by providing financing solutions for firms whose capital needs can outpace what traditional banks typically provide.

Since 2012, Bay Point has completed over $2 billion in privately negotiated transactions across real estate, specialty lending, and alternative investment strategies.
