• Communicate with clients about settlement status, outstanding liens or bills, anticipated next steps, and issues affecting distribution timing.
• Identify discrepancies, complex lien or reimbursement issues, and potential legal, ethical, or trust-account concerns; escalate matters requiring attorney review before funds are distributed.
• Maintain complete, accurate, and timely records of post-settlement actions, communications, negotiations, payments, authorizations, and resolutions in the firm's case-management system.
