Overview
4:00 p.m. Registration and networking
4:30-5:30 Seminar
5:30-6:30 Cocktail Reception
When do we discuss settlement? Should we mediate? Or arbitrate? How do we evaluate a case for settlement? Because 95% of all cases settle before trial, settlement analysis and strategy are a critical phase of any dispute. Experienced trial lawyers will focus on settlement analysis and case evaluation from both a procedural and economic perspective to enable in-house counsel to advise management on claims headed for trial.
