TRIBECA LAWSUIT LOANS NOW OFFERS LITIGATION FUNDING TO WRONGFULLY FIRED WORKERS

Victims of wrongful termination often suffer a one-two punch. Explains Rory Donadio, founder of Tribeca Lawsuit Loans, “Not only do they face a confusing maze of government claim procedures and lengthy court cases, but their financial security is also compromised.” Anecdotal evidence suggests that many unlawfully fired employees fail to pursue claims because they have to invest their energy into simply providing for themselves and their families.

A readily available resource to help alleviate that uncertainty is presettlement funding from Tribeca Lawsuit Loans.

Wrongful termination, also called wrongful discharge or wrongful dismissal, occurs when an employer unlawfully discriminates against an employee, when it violates public policy, or when it fails to follow its own established procedures. Common allegations include

  • many forms of discrimination: racial, color, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and disability
  • retaliation for seeking worker’s compensation after being hurt on the job
  • violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act
  • violation of wage and hour laws
  • retaliation for exposing an employer’s illegal activity

No one knows how many terminated employees file lawsuits that allege wrongful termination. We can surmise that the number is substantial because we know that many begin as a claim, called a charge, filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Federal law requires that people with discrimination or retaliation claims file EEOC claims. Some 67,448 of those claims were filed in 2020. If the parties cannot resolve their differences through the EEOC charge process, the claimant can bring a lawsuit.

But that number only hints at the total number of wrongful terminations in this country. Like those for wage and hour violations, many other claims can bypass the EEOC altogether. The patchwork of procedures and remedies available under state law further obscures the extent of the problem.

In most cases, the only adequate remedy is a monetary award, which can include back and future pay, the value of lost benefits, emotional pain and suffering, and punitive damages.

According to Tribeca’s Donadio, “When a plaintiff sues for money damages, Tribeca can help the victim to rally the resources to continue the good fight when times are tough. A Tribeca lawsuit loan allows a plaintiff to borrow against the expected recovery long before the parties reach a settlement. Furthermore, there is no risk to the claimant. Fired employees who fail to win their cases are never liable for repaying the lawsuit loan.”

If you have filed a lawsuit for money damages to compensate you for wrongful termination, or you have filed an EEOC charge that has not yet been resolved, let Tribeca help level the playing field. Contact Tribeca Lawsuit Loans at (866) 388-2288 or through our website at tribecalawsuitloans.com to apply for presettlement funding. If you have not yet filed a lawsuit, schedule a visit with an employment attorney who will evaluate your case, often for free. The sooner you act, the sooner Tribeca Lawsuit Loans can help.

Victory Park Expands Legal Credit Leadership with Maleson Promotion

By John Freund |

Victory Park Capital (VPC), a global alternative asset manager specializing in private credit, has announced that Justin Maleson will expand his role to Managing Director, co-heading the firm’s legal credit investment strategy. The promotion underscores VPC’s ongoing investment in its legal finance capabilities and follows Maleson’s initial appointment in 2024 as Assistant General Counsel.

An announcement from Victory Park Capital details Maleson’s new responsibilities, which include sourcing, analyzing, and managing investments across legal assets, while maintaining oversight of the firm’s legal operations. He joins Chad Clamage in co-leading the strategy, working alongside team members Hugo Lestiboudois and Andrew Pascal, under the continued oversight of VPC CEO and founder Richard Levy.

Maleson brings a strong background in litigation finance and commercial law to the position. Before joining VPC, he served as a director at Longford Capital, where he specialized in originating and managing litigation funding transactions. His earlier tenure as a litigation partner at Jenner & Block further deepened his exposure to complex legal matters, equipping him with the expertise needed to navigate the nuanced legal credit space.

VPC’s legal credit team emphasizes an asset-backed lending model, prioritizing downside protection and predictable income streams. The firm aims to capitalize on inefficiencies within the legal funding market by leveraging its internal expertise and broad network of relationships. With Maleson’s appointment, VPC signals its intent to further scale its legal credit strategy, positioning itself as a key player in the evolving legal finance sector.

Maleson’s elevation comes at a time of increasing sophistication in litigation finance, where experienced legal minds are playing a pivotal role in portfolio construction and risk management. As VPC bolsters its leadership, the move may foreshadow further institutionalization of legal asset investing and heightened competition in a maturing market segment.

Golden Pear Upsizes Corporate Note to $78.7M Amid Growth Plans

By John Freund |

Golden Pear Funding has extended and upsized its investment-grade corporate note to $78.7 million, further bolstering the firm's capacity to serve the expanding litigation finance sector. The New York-based funder, a national leader in both pre-settlement and medical receivables financing, said the proceeds will support working capital and fuel strategic growth initiatives.

A press release from Golden Pear outlines how the capital raise reflects continued investor confidence in the firm’s business model. CEO Gary Amos noted that the infusion is critical as Golden Pear seeks to scale alongside the “rapidly expanding litigation finance market.” CFO Daniel Amsellem added that the new funding aligns with the company’s capital allocation strategy, aimed at optimizing operational efficiency and executing strategic projects.

Brean Capital, LLC acted as the exclusive financial advisor and sole placement agent on the transaction.

Founded in 2008, Golden Pear has funded more than $1.1 billion to over 87,000 clients and remains one of the largest specialty finance companies in the U.S. Its business model spans legal case funding and medical receivables purchasing, with backing from a network of private equity partners that provide institutional support for continued expansion.

LionFish Updates Model Documents in Response to CJC Report

By John Freund |

LionFish Litigation Finance Ltd has released a new suite of model litigation funding documents, updating its original set from February 2021. The revision comes on the heels of the Civil Justice Council's (CJC) Final Report on Litigation Funding, issued on 2 June 2025, which calls for a regulatory structure informed by best practices, including key principles published by the European Law Institute (ELI) in October 2024.

A LionFish press release details that the updated suite incorporates several of the ELI Principles (notably 4-12) and broader CJC recommendations, except where doing so would require legislative or procedural reform. LionFish's goal, according to Managing Director Tets Ishikawa, is not to dictate market norms but to foster industry-wide standardisation and efficiency. This proactive move is also intended to spark further collaboration between funders, insurers, and legal practitioners to develop trade practices akin to those in mature financial markets, such as those promoted by the Loan Market Association and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association.

The new suite includes three core documents: a litigation funding agreement, a priorities deed to define proceeds distribution, and an assignment deed for insurance benefits. Notably, LionFish has also added documentation for co-investment arrangements, reflecting a growing trend in syndicated funding deals. The funder has already closed seven such transactions.

Managing Director Tanya Lansky emphasised that while litigation funding remains complex, making documentation public enhances transparency and facilitates quicker deal closings—an essential factor for sustaining market growth.

As litigation finance continues to mature, this move by LionFish highlights a shift toward professionalisation and standardisation. With regulators increasingly focused on transparency and fairness, such initiatives may set a de facto benchmark for others in the industry. The question remains: will other funders follow suit, or will regulatory mandates be needed to compel alignment?
