Lost Opportunities: Why Cases Settle At The Wrong Time

From Law360: Competition: Lost Opportunities: Why Cases Settle At The Wrong Time


“Because of the way our brains are hard-wired, opportunities for settlement are often lost — our human tendencies often cause us to get in our own way. By recognizing these tendencies, fighting to avoid them and by implementing systems that help recognize potential leverage points, litigants can achieve faster, and often better, settlements, says John Watkins of Thompson Hine LLP.”
