DESCRIPTION

Litigation is expensive, time consuming and the results are rarely guaranteed.  The interests of your client may best be served by reaching a settlement that everyone can live with, but you need to know when you should make an offer or accept a settlement, and have a clear understanding of the process, the options and the pros and cons.

From examples of when and how to structure a settlement, to when to make a Rule 49 offer and the potential impact on costs, to the consequences of failing to comply and options for enforcement, experienced counsel will present the essential knowledge and skills you need to structure a settlement, when warranted, that best meets the needs of your client.
