Personal injury or clinical negligence settlements are awarded as a result of life-changing circumstances. It's vital therefore that such awards are made to work hard on your behalf. Achieving the best possible return over the long term is naturally a key objective. But the most important factor is an in-depth understanding of the client's individual circumstances and the ability to take an all-round view of highly specialised injury needs.   

As part of an integrated strategy, Frenkel Topping addresses questions such as:

• What is the nature of the injury and the consequent income required to meet care needs?
• How should the award be best structured to maximise its benefits?
• What role should specialised products - such as Periodical Payments or Special Needs Trusts - play as part of the settlement?
• If Trustee or Receivership issues are involved, what support and guidance can we offer?
• What is the level of investment risk the client is comfortable with?
• What is the tax situation?
