Third-party litigation financing has blossomed over the last decade, but the election of Donald Trump and forthcoming GOP control of both the House and the Senate has some legal industry insiders alert to the propsect of reforms that would ultimately throw a wrench into the business model, especially given that many supporters of greater regulation have thus far been Republicans.

Trump's administration is poised to be more business friendly, and some wonder whether this outlook will harm the litigation funding industry, since other pro-business, Republican-leaning organizations, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, remain leery of third-party financing because it could potentially hurt business defendants.
