Description

Better understand ethical settlement negotiation to protect your clients 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 prelitigation 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 clientwhether 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 lawsuitbefore 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 prose party versus counsel.
