Structured Attorneys’ Fees

Structured attorneys’ fees are a guaranteed method to defer taxes, grow contingent fees and finance all aspects of life. 

 

Like an uncapped 401(k) plan, a structured attorney’s fee provides a guaranteed tax-deferred advantage to suit an attorney’s personal financial needs. Whether or not the plaintiff decides to structure, this tax-saving strategy provides future payments directly to the attorney. Taxes on the deferred portion are paid only in the years of actual receipt.

​

Why Structure Your Fee?

In the past, lawyers felt secure placing fees with professional money managers and absorbing the taxes in the year of receipt. But the combination of a volatile marketplace and high tax rates have contributed to a substantial loss in the value of fees.

 

A structured attorney’s fee with a highly rated top life insurance company offers:

• Guaranteed Payments

• Tax Deferral

• An Alternative to Market Risk
