What Arcadia Settlements Group does

Arcadia Settlements Group is a privately held structured settlement brokerage and advisory firm, founded circa 1975 and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Integrated Financial Settlements (IFS). The company acts as an intermediary between plaintiff attorneys, insurance carriers, self-insured entities, and claimants, designing tax-free structured payment arrangements (under IRC Section 104(a)) for personal injury, wrongful death, workers' compensation, and medical malpractice cases. Its core technology platform is Resolver, a proprietary case collaboration and referral management system that centralizes communication and document exchange across the settlement lifecycle, backed by SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3 and HIPAA HITECH Type 2 attestations.

The company's go-to-market is a direct enterprise field sales motion executed through a nationwide network of more than 60 settlement consultants covering all 50 US states plus DC and Puerto Rico, supported by the Settlements Institute continuing education platform. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on settlement arrangements and related advisory services, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The product portfolio has expanded beyond traditional structured annuities to include Treasury Funded Structured Settlements, Fixed Indexed Annuities, Growth Structured Settlements (via Assura Trust), Fee Structure Plus for attorney fee deferral, and Trust Solutions including Special Needs and Pooled Trusts.

Arcadia operates as part of the IFS family of companies alongside Structures Inc. and JMW Settlements, and in February 2026 relocated its corporate headquarters from Denver to Austin, Texas. The firm reports a cumulative track record of 500,000+ cases settled and $150B+ in future benefits structured across its history, positioning it as the longest-tenured firm in the structured settlements industry.
