Over the years, we frequently have encountered opponents who aggressively pursue litigation as their “Step 1.” Full-blown litigation may be the best strategy, but that can only be determined by taking the time to:
- Assess the dimensions of the dispute: Who are the parties involved? What are their relationships?
- Visualize the possible paths to resolution, thinking outside of the box.
- Perform a cost-benefit analysis of alternative approaches.
- Clarify the best tactics to win.
- Maneuver through the process to victory.
Plaintiffs and defendants alike benefit from our practical approach to establishing a strategy, and then taking action toward the desired result. We may advise you that the best path is to settle early in the process to avoid potentially expensive, lengthy litigation with uncertain outcomes. Alternatively, not all disputes are easily resolved. As warranted by our discovery process, we pursue litigation through trial and appeal, especially if the stakes are high and the opponent is difficult.
