Give Me Your Best Offer: Strategically and Efficiently Negotiating Settlements The vast majority of civil cases can and should be resolved before trial. An effective settlement can save significant resources and avoid a potentially damaging public verdict, but lawyers do not always approach their settlement negotiations with the same level of prepa - ration and focus that they might for a deposition or motion argument. And it can be difficult to know when settlement is no longer the best approach and a transition to trial strategy is appropriate. In this pro - gram, a former magistrate judge and an experienced trial lawyer will discuss successful approaches to negotiation, mediation, and set - tlement; how to address common negotiation tactics; and circum - stances that indicate trial may be the best resolution for a matter. |
