Non-Qualified Settlement Solutions

Non-Qualified Assignment (NQA) may be used to resolve a deadlocked legal dispute or to structure payments for an agreed upon settlement in a non-physical injury case. This solution offers advantages for both claimants and defendants. Non-Qualified Assignments are designed to accept the transfer of future periodic payment obligations from defendants in non-physical injury settlements. Non-Qualified Assignments offered through MetLife can be funded with all or a portion of the settlement. When to consider non-qualified assignment:

  • Employment Litigation, such as Wrongful Termination, Sexual Harassment, Discrimination, and Breach of Contract Disputes
  • Disputes between Developers and Municipalities
  • Construction Defect
  • Contract Disputes
  • Punitive Damages
  • Environmental Claims
  • D&O and E&O Claims
  • Attorney Fees associated with these types of cases
