Tribeca Capital Group, LLC Announces Expansion for New Year 2021 Mass Tort Initiative

Litigation Funding leader Tribeca Capital Group, LLC, is pleased to announce its New Year 2021 Mass Tort initiative to offer financial relief to victims of defective surgical implants, unsafe medications, or institutions that protected sexual predators. These mass torts include the over-the-counter heartburn medication Zantac, medical device placement surgeries for hernia mesh and inferior vena cava (IVC) filters, and sexual abuse by leaders and others associated with the Boy Scouts of America organization. Tribeca has formed a dedicated team to assist victims who are asserting claims against the corporations and groups in whom they placed their trust but ended up wreaking havoc in their lives.

According to Donadio, each year tens of thousands of people assert claims in mass tort litigation and class action lawsuits. Those matters often take two to three years before the parties reach a settlement, and even longer for the class members to be identified, claims filed and approved, and payment made. “We intend to offer financial assistance to as many claimants as possible now while they’re waiting for their claims to wind through litigation,” explains Tribeca founder Rory Donadio. “2020 was a horrendous year for so many. We want to do our part to help some of the folks who have been hit not only by the pandemic, but by these unscrupulous companies and organizations.”

Tribeca’s founder also emphasizes that these advances are not loans and are not designed to be repaid by the claimant. The litigation funding company takes its share from the eventual award. Even If the claimant’s award is less than the advance, the claimant owes Tribeca nothing.

Tribeca is fully prepared to handle the influx of new clients seeking financial assistance. The process is simple. Mass tort claimants can apply directly from the Tribeca website at tribecalawsuitloans.com or call (866) 388-2288. Donadio assures that Tribeca can process applications and make a funding offer within days. “Tribeca is thrilled to have an opportunity to help ease the burdens of people fighting for justice in these cases. Since we opened our doors, we have served more than twenty-five thousand clients by financing their litigation efforts and allowing them to receive a portion of their just due when they need it rather than having to wait the months and years that mass tort litigation often takes,” says Donadio.

If you are a claimant in one of these cases or a plaintiff in another type of personal-injury matter, a five-minute application or phone call can start the process for you. Call Tribeca Capital Group, LLC at (866) 388-2288 or visit our website at tribecalawsuitloans.com.

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.

NorthWall Capital Hits €2.9 B AUM on Private Credit Momentum

By John Freund |

NorthWall Capital has rocketed past €2.9 billion in assets under management after pulling in an additional €1.6 billion of institutional capital in 2025 alone. The London-based alternative credit manager says the surge reflects allocators’ intensifying hunt for scaled, multi-strategy platforms as Europe’s banks retrench and borrowers seek bespoke sources of credit.

A press release from NorthWall Capital details first-close totals across four distinct strategies. The flagship Credit Opportunities fund secured €731 million—already eclipsing its prior vintage—while the newly launched Senior Lending vehicle raised $503 million, translating to roughly $750 million of deployable firepower once leverage is applied. Asset-Backed Opportunities collected €252 million for collateral-rich loans in sectors underserved by traditional lenders, and the specialist Legal Assets platform locked down $169 million to extend the firm’s law-firm lending programme.

Founder and CIO Fabian Chrobog said the fundraising validates “the consistency of our approach” and NorthWall’s ability to craft solutions that resonate with investors and counterparties alike. With headcount slated to hit 40 by year-end, the firm plans to lean further into complex, situational credit born of bank deleveraging, regulatory shifts and sponsors’ need for certainty of execution.
