Practical guidance for the decisions that come with settlement.
A settlement involves much more than negotiating the final amount. Issues involving government benefits, taxes, settlement trusts, special needs trusts, financial planning, structured settlements, and attorney fee planning can all play an important role in the decisions made before a case is finalized.
Our webinars help plaintiff attorneys and their teams recognize these issues, understand the options available, and know what may need attention before a case is finalized.
