[Roundtable C] Settlement strategies: How far is too far and where to draw the line when everything goes wrong

ROUNDTABLE

About

This session focuses on settlement strategies and minimising reputational damage.

  • Where and how to draw the line: defining the scope of what you are trying to achieve and what is your most realistic outcome
  • Using data analytics and other methods to work out where you stand, whether your case will stand up against previous judgments and if it’s time to cut your losses
  • Strategically conceding points and trying to influence and negotiate the narrative with opposing counsel, regulators or other agencies
  • Minimizing reputational damage in settlements: Fashioning your own settlement narrative vs the risk of having that imposed on you
