Who We Are


Competitive Georgia is dedicated to fostering a balanced, fair, and predictable legal environment in Georgia through tort reform that curbs frivolous lawsuits, stabilizes insurance costs, and promotes economic growth while preserving access to justice.

Competitive Georgia is a coalition of more than 500 business owners and operators dedicated to building on the 2025 tort reform successes (Senate Bill 68 and Senate Bill 69) and positioning Georgia as a national leader in business-friendly legal reforms.

Competitive Georgia is an incorporated, nonpartisan, not-for-profit 501(c)(4) with a board of directors governing its activities.

“Today is a victory for the people of our state who for too long were suffering the impacts of an out-of-balance legal environment. As a result of this collective effort and outpouring of support from Georgians of all backgrounds, Georgia continues to move in the right direction as we work to stabilize costs and compete for economic opportunities that will create good paying jobs for hardworking Georgians across our state.”

– Governor Brian Kemp

“From the extensive debate we saw on this issue, it is clear that the environment we are in right now is not playing well consistently and something had to change to level the playing field. These bills ensure that we put Georgia families and consumers first by tackling the hidden costs we have all been paying thanks to Georgia’s current tort laws. These much-needed reforms, which I was proud to support, strike a balance by stabilizing insurance costs for businesses and consumers, while increasing transparency and fairness for all Georgia citizens.”

– Lt. Governor Burt Jones

“The House was proud to support these measures that return much-needed balance to our state’s courtrooms and deliver financial relief to Georgia’s citizens and businesses facing skyrocketing insurance premiums—all while ensuring we protect the rights of Georgians with legitimate claims.”

– Speaker Jon Burns

Lawsuit Reform’s Major Impact

COURTROOM

Economic Growth & Defense of Small Businesses


Lawsuit relief is essential to reducing liability costs that deter businesses from investing and expanding in Georgia. By curbing frivolous lawsuits, Georgia can promote job creation and boost economic stability.

Protecting Healthcare Access & Affordable Healthcare Costs


High malpractice insurance premiums due to extreme litigation risks contribute to rising healthcare costs. A balanced legal system is particularly vital to attracting and retaining quality healthcare providers to serve rural Georgia communities.

Lowering Out Of Control Insurance Costs


The high cost of insurance coverage impacts nearly every industry in Georgia. With their backs against the wall, small businesses are forced to pay high premiums, unable to expand or pay their employees, and ultimately forced to pass these costs on to customers.


Making the Courtroom For the Injured, Not Lawyers


Greedy out of state billboard lawyers are exploiting Georgia’s court system for personal profit, costing families over $4,100 each year due to excessive litigation, known as the “Tort tax.” Our court system should prioritize citizens, not lawyer profits, by tackling frivolous litigation and reducing large contingency fees taken by personal injury lawyers and returning the money to the injured.

Third Party Litigation Funding (“TPLF”)

Louisiana, West Virginia, Indiana, Montana and Wisconsin have all passed laws to create transparency around the practice of outsiders investing or debt financing litigation.

Forum shopping

Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi follow the federal rule and prohibit voluntary dismissals after an answer has been filed. This prevents forum shopping when counsel dislikes the judge assigned or the jury selected.

Fee-splitting

Florida’s tort reform bill of 2023 requires that attorney’s fees received must be directly related to the hours invested in the case.
