Structured Settlement Disputes

Robinson McFadden represents several companies who purchase structured settlement payments rights in the statutory approval process and in litigation involving disputes over structured settlement sale and loan agreements. In 2002, South Carolina enacted the Structured Settlement Protection Act that regulates the exchanges of structured settlement payments for lump sum payments. As part of the approval process, the firm ensures that the transaction complies with the terms of the Act, files the application with the Court, responds to any objections, and represents the purchaser during the hearing to determine whether the transfer is in the best interest of the seller. Our structured settlement attorneys also represent transfer companies in lawsuits filed when structured settlement sale and loan agreements have been breached.
