Fortress Reacts to the Tillis-Hern Tort Reform
The Wall Street JournalTuesday, June 10, 2025 at 7:44:00 PM
Fortress Investment Group is responding to the proposed Tillis-Hern tort reform by clarifying how their U.S. legal asset investments are taxed—under standard corporate or income-tax rules. While the statement is dry and technical, it hints at broader industry concerns about how legal reforms might impact investment strategies, especially in litigation finance.
Editor’s Note: Tort reform—like the Tillis-Hern bill—aims to curb excessive lawsuits, but it also ripples through industries tied to legal outcomes, like litigation funding. Fortress’s statement isn’t fiery opposition, but it’s a quiet signal that investors are watching how policy shifts could reshape their playbook. For everyday folks, it’s a reminder that legal changes don’t just affect courtrooms; they tweak the financial gears behind them, too.
