Defense counsel often looks for ways to jump from (1) an agreement on settlement amount to (2) signing the settlement agreement. But plaintiffs need time to plan for taxes, their financial future, and preserve government benefits. In this Professional Liability Defense Article, Jeremy Babener and Rachel McCrocklin discuss how defendants can use Qualified Settlement Funds (QSFs) to meet their goals while allowing plaintiffs the planning time needed.
Defendants regularly use Qualified Settlement Funds (QSFs) to skip past issues that they shouldn’t need to consider. Without a QSF, structured settlement language must go in the settlement agreement along with many other terms that don’t affect the defendant. In this Professional Liability Defense Quarterly Article our experts Rachel McCrocklin and Jeremy Babener walk through how defendants can use QSFs to close settlement discussions faster, avoiding delays to their release and deductions. https://bit.ly/QSF-PLDF #Plaintiffs #TrialLawyer #SettlementPlanning

Should trial lawyers avoid depositing large recoveries into an IOLTA? Does that mean clients lose interest?

Excellent to see CNBC focusing on settlement planning, with interviews of Jeremy Babener and Rachel McCrocklin!
CNBC focused on plaintiff settlement planning with our Chief Trust Officer Rachel McCrocklin and Tax Strategist Jeremy Babener. “The right settlement planning can double what plaintiffs keep, even with the defense paying less.” You’ll find great planners and resources with Society of Settlement Planners, American Association of Settlement Consultants, and National Structured Settlements Trade Association. And great trial resources with American Association for Justice. #Plaintiffs #TrialLawyer #SettlementPlanning #StructuredSettlements
