Settlements are often delayed by plaintiffs' tax and financial issues, to the detriment of both sides. Defendants don't get deductions fast enough. And plaintiffs rush life-changing decisions.

This presentation will walk through when and how to use QSFs, and what to watch for in selecting a QSF Administrator.
