Changes to Conditions of SEC Rule 10b5-1 Obligations
New amendments to insider-trading regulations are about to go into effect. SEC Rule 10b5-1 has long provided an affirmative defense to insiders who trade under a written plan adopted in good faith and who lack material nonpublic information (MNPI). Over the years, pundits have noticed that trades under Rule 10b5-1 plans have been unusually profitable, suggesting that some insiders might haveâŠ

A business model for bankrupting the oil companies
Today (June 6), Iâm on a Rightscon panel about interoperability.
Tomorrow (June 7), Iâm keynoting the Re:publica conference in Berlin.
Thursday (June 8) at 8PM, Iâm at Otherland Books in Berlin with my novel Red Team Blues.
When a giant company wrecks your life, what are you gonna do? They can afford more and better lawyers than you can, and they have people whose full time job is fighting off lawsuitsâââare you really gonna beat those people by pursuing your grievance as a side-hustle? Do you really wanna be a full-time, professional litigant?
For some people, the answer is yes: some people are angry enough, or sufficiently morally offended, to make suing a giant company their lifeâs mission. Sometimes, they succeed, and force companies to cough up gigantic sums of money. Obviously, this makes the plaintiff better off, but it can also make things better for the rest of us. Money talks and bullshit walks, and once it becomes clear that 300% of the profits from harming people will be sucked out of the company by a lawsuit, shareholders will revolt and force the company to clean up its act.
Shareholders donât invest in companies that ruin our lives because they are committed to an ideology of cruelty. Ideology only gets you so far: the pursuit of profit incentivizes far worse conduct than mere sadism ever can:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/02/plunderers/#farbenizers
Incentives matter. Companies above a certain size become too big to fail and too big to jail. They capture their regulators and ensure that any damages the government extracts are less than their profitsâââa fine is a price.
Juries, on the other hand, can and do really whack a company for its bad conduct. They understand that incentives matter. They understand that a company that saves $1,000,001 by cutting back on workplace safety canât be driven to improve its behavior by a fine of $1,000,000 after it kills a bunch of workers. If profit outstrips penalties, penalties arenât effective.
A dirty $1m profit needs to be met with a $100m judgment. As the Untouchables MBA teaches us, this is just sound business: âThey pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue.â
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPZ6eaL3S2E
But suing these giant companies is hard. They can tie you up in court for yearsâââdecades, even. They can outspend and outwait you. The more profits a company has racked up through its evil deeds, the more claims it can fend off. Incentives matter, so if youâre gonna commit corporate murder, youâd better do a lot of it to build up the cash needed to scare off your victims and their survivors.
However: the bigger a company is, the more cash it has, the more money there is to extract from it if you can prevail in court. If the company has genuinely injured you, and if you can mobilize the capital and resources to pursue it to final judgment, thereâs a huge payoff at the end of the processâââand a lesson for all the other companies contemplating their own course of action.
Thatâs the Voltaire MBA: âyou have to execute an admiral from time to time, in order to encourage the others.â
For hundreds of years, rich, powerful people have observed their colleaguesâ abuses and thought, âThey only pull that shit on peasantsâââbut if they did it to me, I could sue them for everything!â
This led to an obvious course of action: strike a bargain with the mutilated, ruined peasants to finance their suit against the toff that so abused them, in exchange for a (large) share of the proceeds. Medieval courts called this champerty; today, we call it litigation finance: investing in other peoplesâ grievances against deep-pocketed monsters, in the expectation of reaping huge cash payouts.
On paper, litigation finance seems like a neat solution to a messy problem. The bigger a company is, the worse the abuses it commitsâââand the more it can be made to pay for its sins. The normal economics of litigation are turned upside-down: rather than avoiding the largest companies, you pursue them. This is the Willie Sutton MBA: âThatâs where the money is.â
Litigation finance is a large and growing chunk of the finance sector. For about a decade, hedge funds and private equity have been bankrolling law-firms that represent people whoâve been mangled by corporations, keeping the money flowing through whatever delays and entanglements the target throws up:
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/25/magazine/should-you-be-allowed-to-invest-in-a-lawsuit.html?smid=tw-share
Litigation finance can be thought of as the no-win/no-fee âambulance chaserâ business on steroids. While a local lawyer can make a tidy living going after slip-and-falls and fender-benders, splitting the proceeds with their clients, a firm backed by a huge investment fund can do the same to companies with billions in the bank and hundreds of millions on the line.
Litigation finance is also closely related to impact litigation, which is when a nonprofit uses charitably raised funds to chase corporations and governments through the courts to establish precedents that overturn bad laws or pave the way for future judgments. Impact litigation can be thought of as the trailblazer for litigation finance: for-profit lawsuits are risk averse and stick to pursuing cases that have a high likelihood of eventually succeeding, while impact litigators are a kind of legal entrepreneur, advancing new, uncertain legal theories in the hopes of making new law. Once that law is created, litigation finance can drum up thousands of similarly situated plaintiffs and sue tons of companies on the same theory, citing the new precedent.
Litigation financeâs first big scores was going after med-tech and pharma companies. A lax regulatory environment allowed medical companies to market deadly products that maimed or killed people wholesaleâââthink Vioxx, vaginal meshes or metal-on-metal hip replacements (a doc about this, The Bleeding Edge, will give you persistent nightmares):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bleeding_Edge
Suing the companies that killed your family or permanently disabled you is a slow and ugly process, but itâs a lot more certain than asking Congress to patch the loopholes the company that hurt you exploited, or hoping that a future President will appoint an agency head who gives a shit, and that the Senate will confirm them. And since money talks and bullshit walks, corporations that canât pay dividends or do stock buybacks because they owe all their cash to their victims will suffer in the stock market, and their rivals will clean house and tread carefully.
Which brings me to the latest turn in litigation finance: climate litigation. As more and more money has sloshed into ESG funds that are supposed to make money by investing in ethical, climate-friendly businesses, the idea of suing giant oil companies and other wreckers has grown more attractive. 18 months ago, Businessweek covered the nascent-but-growing phenomenon:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/09/grievance-factory/#champerty
That growth has only continued. With more and larger ESG funds chasing returns, thereâs a lot more money available to represent, say, poisoned indigenous people in the global south whose ancestral lands have been rendered an uninhabitable hellscape by a mining or petrochemical company. The returns from these cases arenât correlated with wider economic trends: whether the market is up down, it makes no difference to the size of the judgment or settlement that is extracted in the end.
A new piece in the Financial Times by Camilla Hodgson does an excellent job rounding up the state of play in litigation finance, starting with the oil giant PTTEP paying $102m to 15,000 Indonesian farmers to settle claims stemming from a massive, ocean-killing oil spill in 2019:
https://www.ft.com/content/055ef9f4-5fb7-4746-bebd-7bfa00b20c82
The firm that financed the suit is Harbour Litigation Funding, and they paid for a lot of shoe-leather lawyering, sending reps on off-road motorbikes to each of the farmersâ plots to sign them up. The case cost more than $21m, and Harbour creamed $53.5m off the top of the settlement from PTTEPâââabout 40% of the total.
Those numbers are pretty compelling investment story: there arenât a lot of opportunities to make a >100% return on a $21m investment in 15 yearsâââlet alone investments that let you claim to be bringing justice to poor farmers whoâve been abused by rapacious corporate murderers.
Other cases are still ongoing: mining giant BHP is facing a ÂŁ36b class action case over the 2015 collapse of Brazilâs FundĂŁo dam, which released poisoned mine-tailings into waterways serving millions of people. 700,000 plaintiffs are in the class, and the investors, Prisma Capital (Brazil) and North Wall Capital (UK) have already fronted ÂŁ70m pursuing the case.
There is a vast inventory of cases like these, just lying around, waiting for someone to stake a claim. One barrier is that most of the worldâs large law firms are conflicted out of pursuing these casesâââthey represent these same companies in other actions. But a new sector of specialized, un-conflicted firms is growing up, and tackling more and more of these cases.
These firms are chasing relatively easy claims, but thereâs an even bigger fish out there, waiting to be caught: class actions against carbon-intensive companies, especially coal and oil companies, for their knowing contributions to the global climate emergency. These corporations are sitting on hundreds of billions of dollars, and they have inflicted trillions in harms. Thereâs gold in them thar wildfires.
The FT cites experts who predict a massive wave of litigation finance climate suits in the next 2â3 years, and notes an increasing tempo of shareholder motions demanding that big oil and mining companies disclose their litigation risks in their investor reports. This is a very compelling idea, a kaiju boss-fight in which we recruit monsters to fight other monsters. Itâs such a fun idea that I actually wrote a novel about it, 2009âs Makers, in which corporate misconduct that has not yet reached the statute of limitations becomes the new oil, prompting a huge investment bubble:
https://craphound.com/category/makers/
But is the answer to a bad guy with a law firm a good guy with a law firm? There are certainly some ways this can go very wrong (many of which end up in Makers). Back in 2015, Cathy OâNeil published an excellent critique of litigation finance in the context of vaginal mesh cases:
https://mathbabe.org/2015/09/01/litigation-finance-a-terrible-idea/
OâNeillâs point is that incentives matter. The incentive for a litigation finance fund is to extract settlements, not win justice. Time and again, weâve seen how a financial tactic can be severed from a societal strategyâââlike how GDP can be goosed to spectacular heights without improving national prosperity.
Thereâs even a name for this phenomenon: Goodhartâs Law: âWhen a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.â The finance sector is spookily good at decoupling positive societal outcomes from positive investor outcomes. The real answer to medical companies that mutilate women with vaginal meshes, or destroy the planet with CO2, is criminal sanctions and regulation, not private lawsuits.
That said, I think thereâs a case for the one leading to the other. Right now, climate wreckers devote very large sums to preventing effective action on climate. Suborning regulators and politicians all over the world isnât cheap. If we take away the money theyâve saved up for this project through stonking, eye-watering judgments, and if we convince the capital markets not to give them any more money lest it be immediately extracted to pay for more redress of a litany of grievances, then perhaps we can deprive them of the capacity of corrupt our political process.
One way to understand whether something is a genuine threat to a companyâs power is to look at how viciously the company attacks it. If you doubt that unions could do good for workers, just take a peep at the all-out violent blitzes that Amazon and Starbucks mount in the face of union drives. I mean, imagine if the Democratic Party took unions half as seriously as the GOP!
The corporate lobby exhibits the same terror over plaintiff-side lawsuits as it does over unions. A massive, decades-long campaign to villify plaintiff-side lawyers has convinced many of us that corporations are the victims of the legal system, rather than its masters. The PR campaign is surprisingly effective, despite its reliance on lies about the âMcDonaldâs hot coffee lawsuitâ and other urban legends:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/06/12/hot-coffee/#mcgeico
Corporate plunderers are terrified of being dragged into court by their victims, and devote titanic amounts of blood and treasure into making it harder and harder to do so. On the âthe more scared the are, the betterâ metric, litigation finance is a slam dunk.
But winning a case isnât the same as getting a judgment or disciplining a firm. When Steven Donziger won a landmark judgment against Chevron on behalf of indigenous people whose lands and bodies had been permanently poisoned, the company struck back:
https://pluralistic.net/2020/09/02/free-steven-donziger/#free-donziger
Chevron bribed a judge in Ecuador to claim that Donziger had rigged the case, then brought a case in the US against Donziger for racketeering, judge-shopping to get judge Lewis A Kaplan on their case. Kaplan is a former tobacco industry lawyer who never met a corporate criminal he didnât love, and when the SDNY prosecutor declined to press charges against Donziger because the case was absurd, Kaplan appointed a private lawyerâââwhose firm also acted for Chevron!âââto act as prosecutor. The case against Donziger was obviously trumped upâââthe Ecuadoran judge who accused him of corruption later recanted and multiple countriesâ Supreme Courts upheld the judgment Donziger won against Chevron. Nevertheless, Kaplan got Donziger locked up under house arrest for years, and even got him banged up in Rikerâs for a time. Donzigerâs lost his law license and his clients are still awaiting judgment.
This is the best law that money can buy, and Chevron has a lot of money. The massive expenditures needed to railroad Donizer were a pittance compared to the $9.5b judgment Chevron owed its victims in Ecuador.
The lesson of Donziger is that these companies wonât go genrly to their graves. They are enormously, unimaginably wealthy and act with the ruthlessness born of greed, which makes mere sadism pale by comparison. Litigation finance is exciting and promising, but itâs only a tacticâââand itâs a tactic thatâs always in danger of being turned against the goal it nominally serves. The people funding litigation finance donât want to save the worldâââthey just want to get rich. They can and will change sides if someone can make the business case for doing so.

The report commented that only one case had been brought against a bank relating to offshore loans and this was settled out of court but it added:
. . . we will indeed be fortunate if litigation is avoided entirely. Whilst the dangers attaching to these loans already to have been explained to borrowers, records of such interviews are usually very brief. Additionally, we could be caught up with decisions handed down as a consequence of actions by litigants against other banks. Bank's solicitors [Allen Allen & Hemsley] are concerned that borrowers wishing to frustrate efforts for recovery by Bank could establish grounds for litigation by purposely encouraging an (inexperienced) account manager to proffer advice which may later prove to be inaccurate or ill-informed. It is clearly evident that extra care should be taken by all personnel in discussing OCLs or responding to correspondence from borrowers.

The Benefits of Partnering with a Litigation Finance Company
Partnering with a litigation finance company offers numerous benefits, including financial relief and management. By covering legal costs, these companies enable plaintiffs to pursue their cases without incurring debt. The non-recourse funding model shifts the finances to the finance company, ensuring plaintiffs face no repayment obligation if they lose. Additionally, this partnership enhances bargaining power, allowing plaintiffs to wait for fair settlements rather than accepting low offers. Litigation finance companies also provide strategic expertise, supporting plaintiffs with valuable insights and improving case outcomes. This collaboration ensures broader access to justice and more equitable legal proceedings.
Introduction to Litigation Finance Company
Partnering with a litigation finance company offers numerous advantages for plaintiffs and law firms involved in costly and protracted legal battles. Litigation finance, also known as legal financing or third-party litigation funding, involves a third party providing financial resources to a plaintiff or law firm in exchange for a portion of the monetary recovery from the lawsuit. This financial support can be crucial in enabling parties to pursue justice without bearing the full burden of legal costs upfront. As we delve into the benefits of working with a litigation finance company, it becomes evident how these partnerships can significantly impact the legal landscape.
Access to Capital with a Litigation Finance Company
One of the primary benefits of partnering with a litigation finance company is access to substantial capital. Legal disputes, especially complex commercial litigation, can be incredibly expensive. Costs include attorney fees, expert witness fees, court fees, and various other expenses. For many plaintiffs, especially smaller businesses or individuals, these costs can be prohibitive. A litigation finance company provides the necessary funds to cover these expenses, allowing plaintiffs to pursue their claims without financial strain. This access to capital levels the playing field, enabling plaintiffs to face well-funded defendants with confidence.
Mitigation Through a Litigation Finance Company
Litigation is inherently with no guaranteed outcome. Partnering with a litigation finance company helps mitigate this. These companies conduct thorough due diligence before investing in a case, assessing its merits and the likelihood of a successful outcome. This rigorous evaluation process means that only cases with strong legal foundations receive funding. For plaintiffs, this external validation from a litigation finance company provides reassurance about the strength of their case. Additionally, because the financing is typically non-recourse, plaintiffs are not required to repay the funds if they lose the case, further reducing their finances.
Enhanced Litigation Strategies with a Litigation Finance Company
With the financial backing of a litigation finance company, plaintiffs can afford to employ more sophisticated and comprehensive litigation strategies. This includes hiring top-tier legal talent, retaining expert witnesses, and investing in extensive discovery processes. The ability to fully fund a robust legal strategy increases the chances of a favorable outcome. Additionally, the resources provided by a litigation finance company allow plaintiffs to withstand lengthy legal proceedings, often resulting in more advantageous settlements or judgments.
Financial Stability for Law Firms Partnering with a Litigation Finance Company
Law firms also benefit significantly from partnering with a litigation finance company. Contingency fee arrangements, where law firms only get paid if they win the case, can strain a firmâs financial resources, particularly with lengthy or complex cases. Litigation finance provides a steady stream of income, allowing law firms to cover operational costs and invest in other cases. This financial stability enables firms to take on meritorious cases they might otherwise decline due to financial constraints. Additionally, partnering with a litigation finance company can enhance a firm's ability to attract and retain top legal talent by assuring them of financial backing.
Leveling the Playing Field with a Litigation Finance Company
Legal battles often pit smaller plaintiffs against larger, well-resourced defendants. This imbalance can lead to unjust outcomes simply due to the disparity in resources. A litigation finance company helps level the playing field by providing plaintiffs with the financial means to pursue their claims vigorously. With access to necessary resources, plaintiffs can engage in litigation on equal footing with their opponents, ensuring that cases are decided on their merits rather than financial disparities. This democratization of legal resources promotes fairness and justice in the legal system.
Promoting Access to Justice Through Litigation Finance Company
Access to justice is a fundamental principle of the legal system, yet financial barriers often prevent individuals and small businesses from pursuing valid claims. Litigation finance companies play a crucial role in promoting access to justice by removing these financial barriers. By funding plaintiffs who might otherwise lack the resources to pursue their cases, litigation finance companies enable more people to seek legal redress. This not only benefits individual plaintiffs but also upholds the integrity of the legal system by ensuring that meritorious claims can be heard.
Conclusion
Partnering with a litigation finance company offers significant advantages in navigating legal challenges. Beyond financial support, it provides strategic insights, risk mitigation, and expertise in managing complex litigation. This collaboration empowers businesses and law firms to pursue meritorious cases without upfront costs, reducing financial strain and unlocking growth potential. By leveraging the resources and experience of a litigation finance partner, organizations can achieve favorable outcomes while preserving capital and focusing on core operations.

The Process of Securing Litigation Finance Company
Securing litigation finance involves a straightforward process designed to support plaintiffs in need of financial assistance during legal proceedings. After applying with a litigation finance company, the case undergoes evaluation based on its merits and potential outcomes. Upon approval, funding terms are agreed upon, typically structured as non-recourse advances. This ensures repayment only if the case settles successfully. With funds disbursed promptly upon approval, plaintiffs gain crucial financial backing to navigate legal challenges effectively, reducing personal financial strain and allowing them to pursue fair resolutions without immediate financial worry.
Understanding the Role of a Litigation Finance Company

Assessing the Need for Litigation Finance Company

Finding the Right Litigation Finance Company
Choosing the best litigation finance company involves careful consideration. Factors such as reputation, terms of financing, and expertise in specific legal areas are paramount. Transparency about fees, repayment structures, and the extent of involvement in case strategy is crucial for a successful partnership.
Applying for Funding from a Litigation Finance Company
The application process with a litigation finance company begins with the submission of case details. Companies assess the strength of legal claims, potential damages, and the likelihood of success. Detailed documentation and a clear strategy enhance the chances of securing funding.
Negotiating Terms with a Litigation Finance Company
Negotiations with a litigation finance company center on the terms of the funding arrangement. Discussions typically include the percentage of the settlement or judgment to be shared, the timeline for repayment, and any conditions related to case developments or outcomes.
Utilizing Funds from a Litigation Finance Company
Once funding is approved, plaintiffs can allocate resources strategically. Funds cover legal fees, expert witness costs, and other litigation expenses. This financial support allows plaintiffs and their legal teams to focus on building a robust case without financial constraints.
Evaluating the Impact of a Litigation Finance Company
The impact of partnering with a litigation finance company extends beyond financial assistance. It transforms litigation dynamics by aligning incentives for success and promoting fairness in legal proceedings. Moreover, it enables broader access to justice by leveling the playing field for plaintiffs against well-resourced opponents.
Conclusion
Litigation finance company play a pivotal role in modern legal landscapes, offering financial solutions that uphold the principles of fairness and access to justice. By understanding their process and potential benefits, plaintiffs can navigate complex legal challenges with confidence and support.
