Mass Tort Fund Administration & Payments
Partner with the best-in class to manage the administrative burden and coordinate fund distributions.
Uniquely qualified and supported by trust counsel and banking professionals, Epiq uses qualified settlement funds (QSF) and other trust or escrow vehicles to facilitate the disbursement of mass tort settlements and the resolution of all settlement considerations. By working with various law firms, we help resolve mass tort and tort claims in a compliant and efficient manner, ensuring that settlement fund QSF strategies are optimized for every case.
Mass Tort Fund Administration Services Include:
- Epiq works with financial institutions to implement QSF agreements according to MSA terms and prevent unnecessary fees and disbursement requirements, as well as ensure compliance with Treasury regulations.
- Our mass tort settlement administration capabilities incorporate a strict privacy policy that safeguards sensitive information throughout the service lifecycle, from mass tort administration and settlement programs through final distribution.
- Epiq has managed hundreds of QSFs and Settlement Trusts with more than $8 billion in assets.
- Epiq has the knowledge needed to administer medical, pharmaceutical, economic, environmental, and financial service settlements.
- Our experience spans multiple practice areas, including personal injury and product liability, reflecting our deep expertise with complex mass tort scenarios.
Epiq develops payment governance processes to ensure prompt, consistent, and compliant distribution of funds in accordance with the terms of each settlement, whether through wire transfers or individual checks.
- Even if we are not the administrator of the primary fund, we can assist with creating sub-QSF accounts to hold funds for further allocation to clients, while providing the tax advantages that a QSF offers.
- We also collaborate with recognized experts, including Sage Settlement Consulting, to further enhance our settlement consulting capabilities when structured settlements or other specialized solutions become essential to resolving mass tort claims.
