The Litigation Transparency Act of 2025 requires parties in civil lawsuits to disclose the identities of any third parties who stand to profit from the case's outcome and to share any agreements that give these parties a financial stake in the result. The disclosure must be made within 10 days of signing such an agreement or when the lawsuit is filed, whichever is later, and must be shared with the court and all other parties involved in the case. The law exempts certain types of third-party interests, including loan repayment, loans with capped interest rates, and attorney's fee reimbursements. The bill applies to all civil cases that are pending or filed after it becomes law, and parties must update their disclosures if they discover any information was incomplete or incorrect. The stated goal is to increase transparency and oversight in litigation by ensuring judges and opposing parties know who has a financial interest in a case's outcome.
