Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York

The Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York is a nonpartisan advocacy group at 19 Dove Street, Suite 201, in Albany, committed to what it calls fixing New York’s broken civil justice system. The alliance is a coalition of business leaders, health care professionals, municipal officials and taxpayers.

LRANY argues New York ranks among the worst states for legal fairness and that outdated liability laws cost the economy billions, driving up costs and straining services.
