Settlement Counsel |
|
As Settlement Counsel, TNLC is engaged to explore every possible avenue for settlement-by-agreement, on terms that are beneficial to our client.
In a Settlement Counsel engagement:
|
- An attorney-client relationship exists – we are on
your side pursuing settlement.
- We are charged to pursue possibilities for acceptable resolution. This means that we devote our energies to settlement (instead of thinking about evidence and litigation tactics).
Our job is to think “outside the box”.
- We work independently of litigation counsel (who is thinking about evidence and litigation tactics).
- We involve our clients directly in every aspect of exploring settlement-by-agreement.

Experience has taught us that it is virtually impossible
to plan and achieve the best settlement while
simultaneously preparing for success in litigation. The
sooner settlement can be achieved on acceptable terms,
the less the consumption of client resources-money,
time, energy and opportunity. Clients are concerned about
expense. Our experience as settlement counsel has shown us that the cost of failing
to explore possibilities for consensual resolution can be enormous.
