POCFMA Coalition Letter

To the Members of the United States House of Representatives:

The undersigned organizations write to respectfully urge you to support and advance H.R. 2675, the Protecting Our Courts from Foreign Manipulation Act (“POCFMA”) out of the House. This commonsense and bipartisan bill would require disclosure of foreign-sourced litigation funding in federal courts, in addition to banning foreign governments from covertly funding lawsuits against American companies.

Third-party litigation funding (“TPLF”), the practice by which non-parties invest in lawsuits in exchange for a cut of the recovery, has been expanding exponentially. Over the past decade, the global TPLF market has grown to approximately $39 billion, with the U.S. segment now reportedly the world’s most active. Despite this dramatic growth, most U.S. judges, courts, and even litigants themselves remain unaware that TPLF is present in the cases in which they are involved or they oversee, because existing rules allow TPLF deals to be kept secret.

Indeed, our adversaries may exploit this opacity to undermine U.S. national security and economic interests through infiltration and weaponization of our litigation system. POCFMA closes that door. By requiring disclosure of foreign-funded TPLF arrangements, POCFMA directly addresses these threats through targeted disclosure requirements, certification obligations, and reasonable funding restrictions.

This critical bipartisan legislation was reported out of the Judiciary Committee on November 20, 2025. The House now has an opportunity to act. This legislation is essential to protecting the integrity of our legal system and the security of the American economy.

House passage of POCFMA would send a clear message that Congress is committed to ensuring that American courts remain a forum for justice and free from foreign interference. Accordingly, we urge you to bring POCFMA to the House floor and to vote in favor of this critical legislation. 

Sincerely,

U.S. Chamber of Commerce
