Pre-Settlement HQ
What Is Pre-Settlement HQ
Our goal is to make Pre-Settlement HQ the place where plaintiff and defense counsel can go to get insight, knowledge and resources that help them prior to finalizing a class action settlement. This site will help you better understand how decisions made during settlement negotiations will impact the overall effectiveness and success of the settlement.
We encourage your input on what resources we can add to the site to help it be even more helpful to both plaintiff and defense counsel.
Why the focus on Class Action Settlements?
Settling a class action is hard work. Class action cases are complex, and often have significant money at stake. There are many variables that need to be considered during settlement negotiations.
It is common for an attorney to be experienced in many aspects of settlement negotiation -- creating the structure of the settlement agreement, hammering out details of the release, and tough negotiations. However, there are other aspects of a class action settlement where attorneys are often unfamiliar.
1. Allocation Methodologies
2. Design of the claims process
3. Settlement administration details
4. Project planning
It is these areas where Pre-Settlement HQ hopes to provide insight, knowledge and resources that will help attorneys achieve better settlement results.
