Pre-Settlement Lawsuit Funding Company Tribeca Capital Launches COVID-19 Program

Pre-Settlement Lawsuit Funding Company Tribeca Capital Launches COVID-19 Program

NEW YORK, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In an effort to use its resources to bring relief and hope to those affected by unprecedented global circumstances, Tribeca Capital Group, LLC, an industry leader in pre-settlement lawsuit funding, announces that it has developed an initiative to reach lawsuit plaintiffs who have been touched by COVID-19 or have been negatively impacted by the sharp downturn in the economy.

“We’ve watched the amazing events unfolding over the last few months, and we know that there are plaintiffs who have filed suits over automobile accidents, defective products, and other wrongs, who have lost their jobs, or they are ill, caring for a sick family member, or staying home with their children. Regardless of their personal circumstances, they’ve seen their incomes drop, and unemployment payments just aren’t covering all their expenses,” explains Rory Donadio, Tribeca’s founder and owner.

“We’re talking about people who had previously filed a case because they’ve been hurt in some way and need to be compensated for it. Those cases don’t necessarily have anything to do with the pandemic, but now the plaintiffs find that the coronavirus is adding insult to injury by robbing them of their ability to make a living. That’s where Tribeca comes in.”

Litigation funding allows a plaintiff in a lawsuit to gain access to some of their expected recovery before the case is settled or comes to trial. Anticipating that the plaintiff will receive a settlement amount or an award, Tribeca can often provide an advance that the plaintiff can use long before the case is finally resolved.

“Tribeca is willing to wait as long as it takes for the case to finish, even if that’s months or years. In the meantime, the plaintiff can use the advance to pay living expenses, medical bills, rent or mortgage payments, whatever they need,” says Donadio. “And, if our client doesn’t win or receive a favorable settlement, they don’t have to pay us back. It’s a risk we’re willing to take to make sure that these clients can provide for their families during this trying time.”

Tribeca Capital has helped hundreds of plaintiffs in all kinds of cases, including: Auto and Truck Accidents Defective Products and Medical Devices Dangerous Drugs Labor and Employment Discrimination Premises Liability Whistleblower Jones Act Railroad Accidents Commercial and Business Litigation

If you are a plaintiff or plan to file a case in the near future, Tribeca Capital encourages you to contact Rory Donadio, Tribeca Capital Group, LLC, at rory.donadio@tribecacapllc.com, (866) 388-2288 to discuss how pre-settlement funding can help you access the funds you need to weather this outbreak.

Burford’s Q2 Profits Surge on New Capital

By John Freund |

Burford Capital has delivered its strongest quarterly performance in two years, buoyed by a swelling pipeline of high-value disputes and a fresh infusion of investor cash.

A press release in PR Newswire reveals that the New York- and London-listed funder more than doubled revenue and profitability in the three months to 30 June 2025. CEO Christopher Bogart credited “very substantial levels of new business” for the uptick, noting that demand for non-recourse financing remains “as strong as we’ve ever seen.”

The stellar quarter follows a lightning-quick, two-day debt offering in July that raised $500 million—capital Burford says will be deployed across a growing roster of commercial litigations, international arbitrations, and asset-recovery campaigns. Management also highlighted significant progress in portfolio rotations, underscoring the firm’s ability to monetise older positions while writing new ones at scale. Investors will get a deeper dive when Burford hosts its earnings call today at 9 a.m. EDT.

Burford’s results arrive amid heightened regulatory chatter in Washington and Westminster, yet the numbers suggest the industry’s largest player is unfazed—for now—by talk of disclosure mandates and tax levies. The firm emphasised that its legal-finance, risk-management and asset-recovery businesses remain uncorrelated to broader markets, a pitch that continues to resonate with pension funds and endowments hunting for alternative yield.

For litigation-finance insiders, Burford’s capital-raising prowess and improving margins could have ripple effects: rival funders may face stiffer competition for marquee cases, while law-firm partners might leverage the firm’s deeper pockets to negotiate richer portfolio deals.

Sentry Expands Free Funding Market Search for Litigators

By John Freund |

Sentry Funding’s free tool enabling litigators to instantly search the funding market on behalf of clients has been expanded.

Sentry’s free ‘decision in principle’ feature enables lawyers to evidence to clients that they have conducted a broad market search, even if funding is not ultimately taken out.

Having deployed £125m in funding across a range of case types, Sentry now has access to an even broader funding marketplace, covering 34 global jurisdictions. Finance is provided by 13 funders, five of which are members of the Association of Litigation Funders.

With the recent addition of Sentry’s first US-based funder, the US offering will now be expanding over the next few months. 

A faster process

Sentry has deployed the latest technology to make the search for funding even easier. 

  • The intuitive application process now only asks questions relevant to previous answers, saving lawyers time.
  • The commercial marketplace has been redeveloped with 63 new data points added to the funder criteria matrix - improving the accuracy of case / funder matching
  • Sentry has also begun building out its AI capabilities, starting with an automated auditing tool for live case progression audits. 

Tom Webster, chief executive officer at Sentry Funding, said:

‘By broadening our reach and speeding up the process, we’re making it even easier for lawyers to raise funding. We’re also giving litigators an easy way to show clients they have fully researched the market, rather than just approaching one or two funders. 

‘The service is free to use, so even if clients decide they do not ultimately want funding or if none is available for that case, for the lawyer, it makes sense to use our “decision in principle” feature, so they can put evidence on file that they did check the market.’

Sentry Funding is an SaaS (software as a service) technology provider that gives solicitors access to a diverse marketplace of litigation funders. It works with solicitors, funders and third-party providers to ensure claimants are getting the most efficient service for their funding needs. 

The Sentry Portal also acts as a case management system that runs a transparent digital case file for solicitors, funders, after-the-event insurance providers, barristers, cost lawyers and other relevant third parties.
