If a dispute arises in your business dealings but there is no litigation yet, is it too early to call your litigation lawyer?
Sometimes businesses are reluctant to get their litigation lawyer involved in a dispute before there is litigation for fear that this will “turn the temperature up”. But, engaging your litigation lawyer early on can help avoid litigation altogether. We can work behind the scenes to assist your team in solving the problem you are facing, and help you understand the risks and strengths of your legal position.
If the dispute ends up in litigation, your litigation lawyer can help you put your best foot forward beforehand. Communication in the pre-litigation context can significantly influence the end result of litigation. Litigation lawyers can help avoid potential pitfalls in pre-litigation communications, including by protecting settlement privilege so that you can negotiate without fear that those discussions will end up before the court and negatively impact your position.
Watch the video below to understand how involving a litigation lawyer can help your business avoid litigation.
