Keith Sharfman (Professor at St. John’s University School of Law) has a new feature arguing against mandatory litigation finance agreement disclosure in the 94 New York State Bar Journal 36. Mr. Sharfman’s article covers unique approaches to legislation targeted at third party funders and their clients.
Sharfman’s research concludes that financial privacy is subject to degradation under forced litigation agreement disclosure rules. Furthermore, Mr. Sharfman alludes to the notion that claimants who have not received funding face discriminatory acts from adversaries who may take advantage of those who have not received funding.
Mr. Sharfman therefore suggests that lawmakers reject mandatory legal funding agreement disclosure.
