Advancing the profession of settlement planning
The Society of Settlement Planners is the professional home for settlement planners, structured settlement specialists, attorneys, and product providers who help injury victims build comprehensive plans for life after settlement.
A professional association built around the client, not a product.
The Society of Settlement Planners ("SSP") is the trade organization for those who engage in settlement planning — settlement planners, structured settlement specialists, attorneys, product providers, and other professionals committed to serving injury victims with skill, transparency, and care.
We are product-neutral and planning-focused. Our members hold themselves to practice standards that put the client's long-term interests first, and we are actively moving the profession toward real fiduciary-level expectations.
"Settlement planning is fundamentally about love, compassion, and service to people at the most vulnerable moment of their lives."
— Paraphrased from a recent letter from the SSP President
