The Mysterious Forces Behind Anti Litigation Finance Ad Blitz

June 17, 2025, 7:38 PM UTC

We don’t know who is running ads on podcasts advocating for anti-litigation finance legislation. But, given how many enemies the practice has among conservatives and big business, the list of potential culprits is huge.

Listen here and subscribe to On The Merits on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Megaphone, or Audible.

Bloomberg Law reporter Emily R. Siegel wrote a story about these podcast ads, which call for restrictions on third parties who fund lawsuits in exchange for a cut of any awards they generate. The ads failed to disclose who was behind them as required by law and were quickly pulled after Siegel started asking questions about them.

Siegel joins our podcast, On The Merits, to talk about the stakes of this anti-litigation finance legislation and the beef these groups have with litigation finance.
