Effective civil litigation planning enhances dispute resolution. We assist clients before litigation begins by reviewing evidence preservation, outlining the litigation process, and discussing settlement terms.

Not preserving evidence may hinder your case or defense and could lead to court sanctions or case forfeiture. Establishing procedures for securing documentary and digital evidence is essential.

Risk management, including suitable business insurance to cover losses and legal fees, should be a priority. Legal counsel must review insurance engagement letters, focusing on coverage scope, deductibles, and choice of defense counsel.

For plaintiffs, we offer contingency fee options, connect with funding sources, manage budgets, and assess financial, tax, and legal factors in settlement decisions, including cost-benefit analysis of offers and judgments.

Tax planning is relevant for both plaintiff and defense litigation, and should be integrated into settlement considerations. These elements help determine whether settlement or continued litigation is preferable.
