Ohio Businesses for Legal Reform (OBLR) is a coalition of key business leaders joining together to highlight and combat inequities in the civil justice system. Members include small, medium and large businesses as well as local chambers of commerce and not-for-profit business associations striving to proactively change the business climate in Ohio.

Ohio's civil justice system promotes a 'lottery mentality' where plaintiffs take a shotgun approach to lawsuits in hopes of winning large verdicts or out-of-court settlements. Businesses are seen as having 'deep pockets' and often are targets of these frivolous lawsuits. This unfriendly business environment must be changed in order to retain jobs and encourage companies to expand in or relocate to Ohio.

Members of OBLR are involved in grassroots efforts that highlight the problems facing businesses and legislative efforts to restore a competitive business environment in Ohio. Coalition members receive periodic updates on legislation, invitations to meetings with key state government leaders and access to the most current information available on civil justice reform issues.
