When is the best time to settle a lawsuit? It could be NOW. As the calendar turns towards January 1, 2025, lawyers are racing against the clock. Why? Because resolving your cases before the New Year can be as strategic as it is satisfying. Here are three compelling reasons to consider mediation now: 1. Budgets: Adjusters have budgets for purposes of settlement and those reset on January 1. Now is the best time to settle those disputes to reach funds that just go back into the hopper. I've also been told many times from adjusters that "the best case is a closed case." Lawyers on both sides should take advantage and get those ripe cases settled. 2. Peace of mind: the New Year feels like a new beginning. Being able to settle the long-outstanding cases should bring a new regenerative feeling for the New Year. Your clients will also feel their legal burdens lifted, giving them new hope/ease for the new year. 3. Avoid escalating client costs: As cases drag on, client expenses mount. I know many attorneys work based upon the billable hour, but early resolution through mediation can significantly reduce time spent on cases that should be resolved and don't need to continue to be worked up. The window of opportunity that the end of the year offers is now. I’d be honored to help you find a resolution that works for all parties. #Mediator #Mediation #ADR #DisputeResolution #ModernMediation4ModernLitigation

I want to clear something up re: value and pricing. The value we as lawyers provide is in the experience of the client, our skills and expertise, our handling of the matter so they don’t have to, and the peace of mind we provide them. These are the things that the client is ultimately paying us for. They aren’t paying for a particular outcome, because as lawyers we can’t guarantee outcomes. We can only guarantee the quality of service we will provide. Just like a doctor doesn’t guarantee you won’t die, or that if you do you don’t have to pay. I've had clients where we "lost" but who were thrilled with the work and happy to pay my fee. And I've had clients where we "won" and I had to chase them down to get them to pay. Even in a contingency or success fee situation, the client is still paying for the service and not the outcome. The lawyer is simply willing to risk a reduced fee or not getting a fee at all in exchange for a larger fee if a certain outcome is achieved. #LawPractice #ValueBasedPricing #ClientService #DitchHourly #NML

Advantages of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)? Alternative measures of dispute resolution have the following benefits: (1).This can be exercised at any time, even if disputes are pending in court, and can be terminated by any party to the dispute at any time (except in the case of binding arbitration). (2). These disputes can be resolved faster and at less expense than litigation. These help in maintaining the personal content of the dispute. Sometimes, through these, the dispute is resolved within a day or two. Since the process of alternative dispute resolution measures remains under the control of the parties, hence, they provide creative and realistic solutions to the cases. (3). Under alternative methods of resolving disputes, the process is flexible and in this the process is not affected by rigid procedural rules.

Please read Oli’s article on the latest TCC case addressing the tension between adjudication and the insolvency regime👇🏻
Last week the High Court handed down a decision in a case Archor was involved in which shows the difficulties insolvent companies will have in effectively enforcing adjudication decisions where there is a crossclaim. The judgment reinforces the position that where there is a genuine crossclaim, enforcement will not be possible without adequate security for the solvent company’s costs - good news for the many contractors that face claims from insolvent companies despite having incurred considerable losses. Oli Worth acted for the contractor in resisting the insolvent sub-contractor's attempts to enforce an adjudication decision without security, instructing Luke Wygas of 4 Pump Court. More detail on the effect of the decision is available in the article on our website - click below to read ⬇
