The experienced business litigation attorneys at the Watkins Firm are often asked by our clients how to approach a potential business dispute in San Diego quickly and cost-effectively. The Courts here in San Diego are clogged with cases and a typical business dispute will take more than a year to bring into a courtroom for resolution. There are cases and situations where the best option for a resolution that meets the goals of our clients is to litigate the case in a Court of law. The reality is most of these cases are resolved through negotiation. The fastest and least expensive strategy for resolving potential business litigation in San Diego is leveraged negotiation.
Our attorneys provide clients with a unique approach to litigation that is designed to provide the greatest opportunity to resolve a business dispute quickly and efficiently. The core of this approach is our proven track record of successful negotiations based upon two factors: “leverage” and the creation of a positive and productive working atmosphere. Most business disputes involve parties who have an established business relationship and many of clients wish to preserve the underlying relationship while resolving the matter at hand. Our attorneys are seasoned business professionals who understand the nature of business relationships and the importance of preserving them while seeking a resolution that meets our client’s objectives.
The key to approach a potential business dispute lies in the “damages.” Damages are the financial value of the impact caused by the business dispute. Our attorneys work to quickly and accurately identify the damages associated with the dispute. This forms the leverage necessary to quickly gain the attention and cooperation of opposing parties in order to open productive negotiations. We work diligently to seek a resolution or “work around” that will resolve the legal issues at hand. We gain a clear understanding of the issues in dispute, the perspective of the other party and the external forces that may have played a role in the dispute.
When areas of principled disagreement exist that cannot be fully resolved through negotiation we represent our clients in alternative resolution strategies such as mediation and arbitration. The primary goal is usually to resolve the dispute in a positive manner in the shortest possible time frame and with the minimum of expense. Our clients value our experience and expertise, the savvy with which we represent them at each step in the process and the successful outcomes we are able to achieve.
