Negotiation and settlement agreements: we negotiate with the other side and draft the settlement with guarantees, a payment schedule and consequences for breach. We handle it ourselves from start to finish, with professionals from our network, with a written quote before we start and your case visible in your client area. We ask for the contracts, the messages exchanged and one figure: the minimum you would accept.
A badly drafted settlement is worth little: if it does not say what happens when the other side defaults, you will end up litigating anyway. What gives a settlement value is being enforceable without reopening the merits.
What it includes: assessment of what is at stake and of the real room for agreement; negotiation with the other side or its representative; drafting the agreement with guarantees and consequences for breach. What it does not include: we cannot guarantee the other side accepts, and we do not execute it before a notary without your decision: notarial costs are quoted separately.
