Settlement Services

The vast majority of civil actions are resolved through settlement.  Using empirical data, OnPoint assists counsel in structuring settlement offers, valuing settlement proposals made by opposing parties, and developing plans of allocation among class members or divisions of liabilities and returns among co-parties. Settlement analyses must carefully account for differences by region, transaction type, time period, and liability attribution. Plans of allocation must meet the objectives of fairness and equity, while respecting practical limits on claims administration. OnPoint’s work is frequently used in connection with judicial hearings supporting or opposing proposed settlements and plans of allocation.

In addition, OnPoint uses its expertise to project for investors the likely outcome of class actions and securities litigation, including probability of settlement, possible settlement amounts, and timing for approval and claims distribution. OnPoint has also been instrumental in maximizing claimant recoveries by analyzing plans of allocation to best structure claims submission and in dealing directly with claims administrators to overcome objections.
