Tribeca Lawsuit Loans Now Accepting Applications From Zantac Claimants

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.

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.
