Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Iowa would ban agreements where an outside company pays for a person's legal costs in exchange for a piece of their final settlement or court award. This rule does not stop lawyers from working for a percentage of the winnings or paying for costs on behalf of their clients. The change affects any new litigation financing contracts made after the law starts. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill prohibits litigation financing contracts. Litigation financing contracts are agreements between a third party and a plaintiff, an attorney, or a law firm of a civil action in which the third party provides funding for legal expenses in exchange for a percentage of any settlement or judgment. The bill does not prohibit the provision of legal services on a contingency fee basis, or the advancement of legal costs, where such services or costs are provided on or on behalf of a consumer by an attorney representing the consumer in the dispute and in accordance with Iowa rules of professional conduct, a commercial tort claim, or a claim under Code chapter (workers’ compensation). The bill applies to litigation financing contracts entered into on or after the effective date of the bill.
