The ability to adeptly manage financial resources and accurately assess risks is a key component for litigation success. This program is designed to give legal professionals the tools and insights necessary to develop effective budgets and implement risk-adjusted litigation strategies to assist stakeholders in deciding when to settle and for how much. This program delves into methodologies for projecting case values and litigation expenses and balancing them against the risks of ongoing litigation and trial. It will also discuss alternate fee arrangements and provide examples of how to use these arrangements successfully.
Participants will learn how to integrate financial planning with their litigation strategy, ensuring that every case is approached not only with a strong legal footing but also with an outcome-focused strategy that can be effectively communicated to and weighed by non-lawyer business stakeholders.
