Resolution Counsel
Negotiating cases for settlement is an art. It requires experience, intelligence, and instincts. The economics of litigation require an honest and informed evaluation of the risks of the case and the costs associated with reducing those risks. There are cases where the client is best served by having its trial lawyers focus solely on litigating the case, while a skilled resolution attorney handles the evaluation and negotiation aspects.
As resolution counsel, I am unencumbered by the emotion and adversarial nature of litigation. Because of my reputation with leading plaintiffs’ and defense firms, I can cut away much of the preliminary sparring, get to the real negotiation, and hopefully reach settlement. Not all cases should be settled, but settlement should be considered in all cases. Because of my experience, I am able to provide you with risk analysis and negotiation skills that allow you to make the best decision regarding settlement in each case.
In the event I am unsuccessful and you decide to try the case, you can rest easy, knowing that your trial counsel has continued to focus on the preparation for trial and has not been distracted by settlement discussions.
