Foreign Third-Party Litigation Funder Disclosure Requirements
Summary
Mississippi enacted SB2747 on April 6, 2026, requiring foreign third-party litigation funders to disclose specified information to the state Attorney General. The disclosure must be submitted in writing within 30 days of executing a litigation funding agreement. This new law establishes reporting obligations for non-domestic entities providing litigation financing in Mississippi.
What changed
Mississippi SB2747 requires any foreign third-party litigation funder to disclose certain information to the Attorney General in writing within 30 days after execution of a funding agreement. The bill defines foreign funders and establishes what must be disclosed, though specific disclosure items are determined by the legislation's provisions. The bill passed with strong bipartisan support (Senate 52-0, House 89-24) and was signed by Governor Reeves on April 6, 2026.
Foreign litigation funders operating in Mississippi must prepare to comply with the new disclosure requirements within 30 days of executing any funding agreement. Funders should establish internal processes to track agreement execution dates and prepare required disclosures for Attorney General submission. Failure to comply may result in enforcement actions under Mississippi law.
What to do next
- Identify whether your entity qualifies as a foreign third-party litigation funder under the Act
- Establish processes to prepare and submit required disclosures to the Mississippi Attorney General
- Track funding agreement execution dates to ensure disclosure within the 30-day deadline
