Legal and Practical Issues Impacting Settlement

Presented by Michael Balmages, Esq. of ADR Services, Inc.

This presentation will explore some of the more common legal and practical issues that get in the way of settlement or, at the least, make it more difficult to achieve. We will discuss reasons why plaintiffs and/or their counsel do not want to settle; reasons why defendants and/or their counsel do not want to settle; who needs to be present; over-thinking mediation strategy; Mediator’s proposals; stipulated judgments; and related issues.
