Ethical Settlement Negotiations

 

Better understand ethical settlement negotiation to protect your client's interests and stay compliant.

There are critical points in the life of a civil matter that are ripe for effective negotiations. Negotiations can happen at all stages of a civil case, including pre-litigation and long after a suit had been filed. Knowing the best time to engage in negotiations becomes a critical benefit to your case and ultimately can result in the most value to your client--whether plaintiff or defense. In some cases, it makes financial and practical sense to engage in negotiations before a suit is ever filed versus those cases that require the filing of a lawsuit--before the parties can meaningfully engage in such communications. This course will also alert you to the ethical obligations and pitfalls when engaging in negotiations with a pro-se party versus counsel.
