Quick Facts

Tax Deferred Compensation
Nearly twenty years of case law in Childs v Commissioner combined with a 2008 IRS private letter ruling have firmly established that attorneys who receive contingency-based fees may defer taxation on their fees by utilizing an arrangement like the one in Fee Structure Plus that allows for the payments of fee income and, therefore, deferral of taxation, over a six (6) year period.
Liquidity
Fee Structure Plus delivers an unprecedented liquidity option not currently offered through other tax deferral vehicles for attorney compensation. Why not explore the opportunity to marry the best of both worlds – tax deferral and immediate liquidity?
Flexibility and Control
Fee Structure Plus allows you to control the cash flows and timing for taxation on your contingency fees. Meanwhile the program provides maximum flexibility allowing one or more partners to a contingency fee to participate at whatever level they desire, and allowing them to utilize the transaction proceeds however they desire.
