Absolutely! Always an excellent conference.
Fantastic conference by the Society of Settlement Planners! We were proud to sponsor. Expert discussion of tax strategies and upcoming changes by Jeremy Babener. A practical how-to on Confidential QSFs by Rachel McCrocklin and Matt Meltzer. Top notch planning discussions by Joseph Tombs, Bryn Poland, Joseph Di Gangi, Jake Duvall, CTFA, ChSNC®, and Ryan J. Garrison. Exciting to see the SSP continue to provide such high level education for settlement planners. Looking forward to the next year of growth led by new SSP President Chris Bua. https://lnkd.in/gtY8PeWw #Plaintiffs #TrialLawyer #SettlementPlanning #StructuredSettlements

A great reminder for trial lawyers working on taxable cases. Watch for the plaintiff double tax, which hits in taxable cases with legal fees/costs that plaintiffs can’t deduct.
PRTs have helped plaintiffs avoid double taxation in all manner of cases. As of 2025, PRTs have recovered over $200 million for plaintiffs, in lump and structured settlements, in physical injury cases with interest and punitives, in emotional distress cases, in landlord-tenant cases, in defamation cases, in fiduciary violation cases, in invasion-of-privacy cases, in credit reporting cases, and more. If your case is taxable, reach out to see how we help you avoid taxation on the fees/costs portion of your recovery that you won’t keep. Thanks to the team who makes this possible: Rachel McCrocklin, Viktoria Wilkins, Jeremy Babener, Kent Hansen, Lawrence Eisenberg, Matt Meltzer. https://lnkd.in/gDwRrfJK #Plaintiffs #TrialLawyer #SettlementPlanning #StructuredSettlements

Trial Magazine republished our Forbes Article on plaintiff firm ethics in arranging settlement payments. We discussed (1) plaintiffs’ regular loss of interest when using IOLTAs, (2) unnecessary taxation when using QSFs formed in taxable states, and (3) how sharing of returns by law firms can violate legal ethics. https://bit.ly/3Qi6QQY

Fee deferral by plaintiff firms has received more IRS attention in the last couple years than in the last two decades. In December ‘24 the IRS launched a new enforcement campaign on fee deferral, following multiple other proactive steps. Jeremy Babener will be discussing these with Matt Meltzer at this year’s Annual Conference of the Society of Settlement Planners. We’ll hit the steps and language firms should take, and what aggressive moves make arrangements far more risky. https://bit.ly/41fqdjU #Plaintiffs #TrialLawyer #SettlementPlanning #StructuredFees
