Negotiation & Amicable Dispute Settlement

The Idea

Litigation can take years, and a business or family relationship can lose more than the value of the dispute itself. We first give you a frank assessment of your legal position, so you negotiate knowing your strengths, then represent you in negotiation or mediation and draft a settlement agreement that is clear and enforceable.

What We Do

• A written assessment of your legal position, strengths and weaknesses before negotiation.
• Negotiating on your behalf with the other party or its counsel.
• Representation in mediation and amicable settlement sessions.
• Drafting settlement agreements and releases, and having them recorded by the court where needed.
• Representation before the Conciliation Committees in disputes with government bodies.
• Settling disputes between partners, heirs and contracting parties.

How We Work with You

We begin with a consultation, in person or remotely, followed by a written opinion on your position, then a written fee agreement defining the scope, and periodic written reports as the file progresses. See the full engagement steps.
