Settlement: Strategies & Solutions

Let’s talk settlement.

We’ve strengthened thousands of settlements over the last 30 years: creating flexibility, cutting taxes, and fastracking planning.

Plaintiffs can regularly keep more of their recoveries with our Trust Solutions. And while they plan, trial lawyers can receive their fees.

Strategies

We develop settlement strategies with planners and counsel across the country. And our Expert Team is always educating.

Tax language at settlement can cut tax, even in tax-free settlements. Structured settlements can defer tax and provide subsidies. And lawyers can boost fee value through deferral and retirement plans.

We’re glad to talk through issues and refer you to the right advisors.

Solutions

We create solutions, then make them flexible and practical. Here are some examples:

Qualified Settlement Funds (QSFs)

Set up a QSF in one business day, release defendants, and pay contingent fees, all without forcing plaintiffs to rush any “settlement planning.”
LEARN MORE ABOUT QSFs

Plaintiff Recovery Trusts (PRTs)

Use a PRT to avoid the “plaintiff double tax.” In taxable cases, the double tax regularly cuts plaintiff winnings in half. Even cases with small amounts of interest or punitives get hit.

Plaintiff Fund

We partnered on this charity project to protect plaintiffs who need to raise funds for medical expenses  from their community. Without this, they can accidentally lose Medicaid eligibility.

Legal Updates & CLEs

Settlement laws and strategies are always changing. And our Expert Team is always educating. We write articles, present CLEs, and train financial advisors. If you’re in leadership of a trial lawyer association, ask us to come present on any number of ethics and settlement topics.
