Bill Schantz’ initial entrepreneurial effort, Senior Settlements LLC, was established three decades ago as a result of its $150 million dollar transaction with former Investment Banking powerhouse  Bear Stearns.  Not only did the deal put his new company on the map, but it also made him the man who single-handedly introduced the capital markets to  life settlements.

Bill has worked with top tier firms in investment banking, accounting and big law through the years.  A partial list of his clientele include Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Deloitte, Locke Lord and Clifford Chance.  

Today, Bill and his team at Mid Atlantic expertly manage product development, restructuring, and growth. In addition, they also structure and manage life settlement investment funds, creating investment vehicles that are available to investors outside of Wall Street.
