Direct negotiation and conciliation
Out-of-court settlements before conciliation centers and direct negotiation processes that avoid the wear of litigation.
What we do
Not every dispute should go to trial. We conduct direct negotiations and conciliations before authorized centers, reaching settlements that avoid the wear, cost and uncertainty of litigation. We negotiate from a position informed by litigation strategy, which strengthens the settlement.
What’s included
We pursue the settlement that avoids litigation when it serves the client.
- Direct negotiation of disputes
- Conciliation before authorized centers
- Settlement agreements
- Mediation
- Design of settlement formulas
When to call us
Before filing, to know what can be obtained by negotiating and what is only achieved at trial.
When the law requires out-of-court conciliation before going to a judge.
When the dispute threatens a commercial relationship worth preserving.
When the other side offers a settlement and it must be weighed against the likely outcome of the case.
When the agreement was signed and is not being honored.
What the client gains
- You know what your case is worth before negotiating. A settlement is measured against the likely outcome of litigation, not against the wish.
- You control the outcome and the timing. In a settlement the client decides; in a judgment the judge decides, and years later.
- The commercial relationship survives. Conciliation is private and leaves none of the public trail of a lawsuit.
