Flint Water Settlement Architect Launches Firm to Protect Trial Lawyers' Victories

Michele Fuller, architect of Flint Water settlement, launches The Architected Settlement Law Group to help trial attorneys navigate post-litigation complexities and protect client recoveries nationwide.

This development addresses a critical gap in the legal industry where trial attorneys face increasing malpractice exposure during the complex settlement distribution phase following courtroom victories. For plaintiffs, particularly vulnerable claimants in mass tort and class action cases, proper settlement structuring can mean the difference between preserving government benefits and losing them, or between maximizing recovery and facing unexpected tax consequences. The launch of this specialized firm could significantly reduce post-litigation disputes and ensure that hard-won settlements actually benefit claimants as intended, while protecting law firms from costly liability claims. In an era of increasingly complex litigation and regulatory requirements, having expert settlement architecture could become essential for any firm handling substantial injury cases.
