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 a client's legal expenses themselves. The change specifically targets third-party funding rather than standard lawyer fees. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
