Bryant Park Capital (BPC), a middle market investment bank, added Harris Pogust as senior advisor. Pogust is a prominent attorney in the mass tort and class action fields. He was the founding partner and chairman of Pogust Goodhead worldwide until early 2024 and is currently working with Trial Lawyers for a Better Tomorrow, a charity Harris founded, to help children reach their educational potential all over the world. Pogust’s life work has been to deliver justice for those who have been damaged or injured through the negligence or bad faith of others.
“We are thrilled to have Harris as part of our team,” Joel Magerman, managing partner of BPC, said. “His knowledge, experience and relationships in the litigation finance sector are of great value to Bryant Park and our clients. As the litigation finance world becomes more competitive, complex and challenging, having an expert like Harris on our team is invaluable.”
Pogust’s efforts, in conjunction with BPC, will focus on assisting law firms and funders in developing strategies to more efficiently fund their operations and cases and assist them in establishing the right relationships for future growth.
“I have been fortunate to have been a practicing attorney and partner in law firms for over 35 years focused on building and growing a worldwide book of business in the class action/mass tort field. That required significant capital, and, throughout my career, I have raised over $1 billion for my firms,” Pogust said. “I have learned what works and what doesn’t. I have seen both the risks and rewards in this industry. I look forward to being able to work with law firms and funders to assist them in putting the right strategies in place with Bryant Park and bringing capital and liquidity to help them grow and flourish.”
