Abstract

Google is supporting a bill introduced by California Representative Darrell Issa that would require plaintiffs to disclose any investors profiting from lawsuits. The legislation aims to increase transparency around litigation financing, a $15.2 billion industry where investors fund lawsuits for potential financial gain. While some argue that litigation financing improves access to justice, others, including Google and the US Chamber of Commerce, believe it can lead to excessive litigation and misuse of the legal system.
