Are you concerned about how to resolve a business lawsuit efficiently?  What strategies will bring a positive resolution which accomplishes your goals and objectives?  How can you remove the substantial contingent liability associated with the lawsuit?  The Watkins Firm has more than four decades of experience and a substantial successful trial record here in California.  We have developed a unique approach that is specifically designed to reduce the time frame and costs associated with a business dispute or lawsuit while accomplishing our client’s goals.

The fastest way to resolve a business lawsuit efficiently in San Diego is effective, leveraged negotiation.  We work to develop and thoroughly document a chronology of events as well as an accurate assessment of the financial damages associated with the dispute.  We use these tools to draw opposing parties and their counsel into leveraged, effective negotiations.  We are able to resolve the vast majority of our business dispute cases through effective, leveraged negotiation.  This is the fastest and most cost-efficient strategy to protect our client’s interests and accomplish their goals.

The Watkins Firm prepares every case for trial from the outset, even though most are resolved prior to reaching a court of law.  Opposing counsel knows we are fully prepared to take the matter before a judge or jury to seek justice for our client.  However, there are many opportunities for us to work on your behalf to resolve a business lawsuit efficiently while achieving a positive outcome.  The first of these is often a settlement conference associated with the Court.  Mediation and arbitration are additional alternatives to resolve a business lawsuit efficiently in San Diego and throughout California.   Many contracts specify arbitration as a remedy when a dispute arises, but this may not resolve the issue in the most efficient manner.  We will represent your company efficiently and effectively in any venue throughout the dispute, from negotiations through mediation and arbitration or before the court.  We know how to resolve a business lawsuit efficiently and in a cost-efficient manner while accomplishing our client’s stated objectives.

Pro-Tip: “Well, because we start with this chronology and the damages, as well as all of our philosophies on how to prepare a case, we’re ready to go to trial. And we’ve tried lots of cases. If it’s a trial, we really enjoy jury trials. If it’s arbitration, we’ve been around so long, we’re comfortable with the arbitrators. They don’t always rule in our favor. just because you’ve had arbitrations in front of a judge or an arbitrator doesn’t mean you’re going to get a good ruling. Sometimes it’s the contrary. If they know you, they’re often going to presume you bring a higher level of skill and a higher standard, which is okay.

And then jury trials, we’ve tried so many jury trials that we really feel comfortable picking a jury going through the jury selection process. Our whole team knows how to get all the exhibits ready, comply with all the court, local rules, having everything professional and laid out, having your expert witnesses, ready to go. You put on a what many have portrayed in the media as a show. We actually enjoy the real thing. We don’t think we should have to do it that much. We are able to effectively settle the vast majority of our cases. But when we go to trial, we like getting that big jury verdict. It’s just wonderful.” – Dan Watkins – Founding Partner
