Insights
Notes from the back half of every settlement.
Practical writing on lien resolution, carrier patterns, closeout workflow design, and the operational shape of personal injury work. Built from real case data and direct conversations with the firms doing the work.
What we publish
Five areas, deeply.
Lien resolution playbooks
Practical guides for the work that takes the longest. Medicare conditional payments, Medicaid recovery, ERISA negotiations, hospital lien workflows.
Carrier intelligence
What we've observed about how major carriers actually resolve liens — by carrier, by jurisdiction, by case profile. Patterns, not anecdotes.
Closeout workflow design
How firms structure the back half of every case. Roles, handoffs, where the bottlenecks sit, what the highest-throughput firms do differently.
Disbursement and trust accounting
ABA Rule 1.15, IOLTA discipline, electronic disbursement, the audit trail every closeout actually needs.
Industry benchmarks
How long settlements actually take to close, lien-by-lien. What “normal” looks like, and where your firm sits on the curve.
