About the California Consumer Legal Funding Act (AB 931)
Effective January 1, 2026, AB 931 recognizes consumer legal funding as a non-recourse, consumer-centered financial service, distinct from traditional loans and litigation financing. The new law provides comprehensive protections, including:
- Caps on funding charges that cannot accrue beyond 36 months.
- Mandatory plain-language contracts with full itemization of charges and clear repayment schedules.
- A five-business-day cancellation right without penalty.
- Strict prohibitions on referral fees or financial arrangements between attorneys and funding companies.
- A clear prohibition against funding companies influencing legal strategy or settlement decisions.
“AB 931 ensures that consumers have access to transparent, ethical, and properly regulated legal funding options,” Ghaneeian added. “It provides peace of mind to those waiting for their day in court and establishes California as a national leader in consumer protection.”
