Chronology and damages are two of the most important keys to successful business dispute resolution. In many disputes, the best alternative is not expensive and time-consuming litigation. The Watkins Firm works to develop a strong chronology of events and a mastery of the damages on the table. This provides the leverage needed to open successful negotiations. It may surprise you to learn the Watkins Firm is able to resolve the vast majority of our client’s business disputes through effective, leveraged negotiation based upon a strong chronology and mastery of the damages. The fastest and least expensive strategy for most clients is to successfully negotiate a resolution to the dispute.
Over Four Decades of Experience Resolving Business Disputes Throughout Southern California
The business and litigation attorneys at the Watkins Firm have more than four decades of experience resolving disputes throughout the San Diego region. Based upon this deep and broad experience we can tell you that leverage is a key ingredient that moves an unwilling or non-responsive party into action. Leverage is harder for one business to apply to another than it is for attorneys with a strong and powerful reputation.
We work with our clients to establish specific goals and objectives for the dispute, as well as a game plan that will lead to dispute resolution. We work to diligently establish and document all that has happened and create a strong chronology of events. We utilize this chronology and damages as leverage and communicate with the other party in a strong and influential manner.
When they receive our correspondence, they (and their attorneys) know we mean business, and this is often enough to move things forward to a settlement. We understand the critical nature of many business relationships, and that it is often as important to preserve the underlying relationship as it is to resolve the dispute favorably.
Chronology and Damages are the Keys to a Successful Resolution
While a strong chronology and damages are the keys to a successful resolution, our clients value the fact that we can represent them through every phase of dispute resolution including negotiation, mediation, arbitration and ultimately when matters require, a trial in a San Diego Court.
We ensure that the opposing party understands this as well, and we help them to comprehend the additional time, expense and additional exposure they carry as they move from one step to the next. The power of a strong chronology, damages, cost, time and our determination to hold them accountable and our track record of success provide the leverage we need to achieve our clients goals in the fastest and most efficient manner possible.
