Why Use Escrow for Legal Settlements?

Neutral Protection

Independent third-party holding ensures fairness and prevents either party from controlling settlement funds.

Compliance Verification

Funds released only after all settlement terms, releases, and documentation requirements are satisfied.

Multi-Party Coordination

Handle complex settlements involving multiple claimants, defendants, and structured payment schedules.

Court-Ordered Compliance

Coordinate with courts, attorneys, and parties to ensure proper execution of court-ordered settlements.

Settlement Escrow Solutions

Hold settlement proceeds until medical liens are resolved, releases are signed, and all parties agree to final distribution.

Employment Dispute Settlements

Secure funds for wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes with proper tax withholding and release coordination.

Commercial Litigation Settlements

Manage complex business dispute settlements including breach of contract, partnership dissolution, and vendor disputes.

Class Action Settlements

Manage installment-based settlements with scheduled releases over time, including injury settlements and payment plans.
