Mass tort litigation has become a booming industry, with billions of dollars at stake for plaintiffs, lawyers, and investors. The litigation finance industry has taken notice, pouring money into these lawsuits attracted by the potential of high returns. In 2023, litigation funders funneled nearly $17 billion into lawsuits like the Camp Lejuene and 3M earplug cases. These suits are driven by extensive digital advertising campaigns to identify potential claimants. For law firms bringing these cases, this can lead to massive paydays. Lawyers typically take 20-40% if they’re successful, and that can amount to billions of dollars in high-profile cases.

Litigation in the US can be a financial burden. 💰 Unlike some countries where winning parties can recover attorney fees, the US requires specific provisions for fee shifting. This often forces individuals and businesses to settle or even abandon valid claims due to high legal costs. Our firm offers a game-changing alternative: We may take your case on a contingency, where we’re only paid a percentage of the recovery – and you only pay third-party costs unless we win for you. We take “expensive” out of the litigation process. ✅ ✔️ August Law, PLLC | Gary August | 👨💻 b2bnofee.com #B2BNoFee #NoFee #OaklandCounty #BusinessLaw #Litigation #Expensive

Why You Need an Exit Strategy Before Going to Litigation: Managing Legal Outcomes A critical reason to have an exit strategy before litigation is due to the uncertainty of legal outcomes. Judges may rule in unexpected or unfavourable ways, which can have significant consequences. An exit strategy can help you manage these risks by allowing you to negotiate an acceptable settlement for both parties rather than leaving the decision in the hands of a judge.
