Program Summary

Defendants and casualty carriers regularly miss an easy path to pay less at settlement. They wield significant influence over plaintiff taxation. Defendants can pay less without assuming liability by making small changes to a settlement agreement. This CLE will walk through the source of the defense's influence, the opportunities to watch for, and how tax savings can "bridge the gap" between negotiating parties.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Source of defendants' influence on plaintiff taxation
  • Opportunities to pay less by considering tax issues
  • Liability protections defendants should employ
