CATA welcomes Thomas W. Stockett, certified structured settlement consultant from CW Settlements, who will discuss how contingency fee attorneys may structure fees.

Register Now for this interactive webinar CLE. This CLE has already received approval for 1 CLE credit.
The purpose of the interactive webinar presentation is to educate contingency fee attorneys on their options regarding structuring attorney fees.  Structured Attorney Fees have been a commonplace solution for over 20 years.   We will review the history and precedence of attorney fee structures including an in-depth review of Childs v. Commissioner 103 T.C. 634 1994 which provides the legal basis for tax-deferral of attorney fee structures.  In addition, a thorough review of procedure necessary to effectuate an attorney fee structure will be conducted along with an overview of Qualified and Non-Qualified Assignments. 
 
Once the foundation of contingency fee attorney structures has been established, we will shift to a review of the benefits and applications for utilizing such an arrangement.  This will be accomplished via several case studies to demonstrate the benefits of tax-deferral and saving for the future.  Lastly, a brief review of current attorney fee structure products including traditional fixed settlement annuities and variable market-based products will be completed.
