Tribeca Lawsuit Loans Now Accepting Applications From Zantac Claimants

Tribeca Capital Group, LLC, a leading pre-settlement litigation funding company, announced today that it is accepting applications for litigation advances from patients who have filed claims or lawsuits against any of the manufacturers of the heartburn medication ranitidine (eg. Zantac, a brand name of the pharmaceutical company Sanofi).

As of April 1, 2020, Zantac and other ranitidine products are the subject of an FDA recall. They have been found to contain N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen, and are suspected of causing cancers of the digestive tract and blood. The recall applies to both over-the-counter and prescription forms of the drug, which was marketed under the brand names Zantac, Deprizine, and the generic Ranitidine.

“Already numerous lawsuits have been filed against the companies that manufactured Zantac, many of which have been brought together as a class action in federal court,” explains Rory Donadio, founder of Tribeca. “Because Zantac was such a popular and widely distributed drug, many people in the know believe that claims against these companies could number in the tens of thousands and be worth billions,” says Donadio.

In addition to Sanofi, ranitidine was manufactured and marketed by several dozen companies, including Apotex Corp. (labeled by Walgreens, Walmart, and Rite-Aid), Reddy’s Laboratories (labeled by Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, Target, and Kroger), GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Novitium Pharma, Perrigo Company and Sandoz.

For ten years Tribeca has provided litigation funding to plaintiffs in personal injury suits, including those for dangerous drugs and defective medical equipment. Litigation funding, or lawsuit loans, allow someone who suffered injury to obtain an advance on the proceeds they expect to receive on a claim or lawsuit. Says Tribeca’s Donadio, “Litigation funding can help a plaintiff cover everyday expenses or pay for medical treatment they would otherwise not get until the case settled or went to trial. Then, if for some reason the claim is denied or the client loses the lawsuit, they’re not required to pay back the advance. It’s a win all around.”

To be eligible for an advance on a Zantac claim, it is not necessary to have filed a lawsuit. But it is necessary to file a claim in the Zantac litigation and be able to provide copies of medical records, including a pathology report. To learn more or to file an application, contact Tribeca Lawsuit Loans toll-free at (866) 388-2288 or visit 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.
