The fastest and least expensive strategy for resolving business disputes in San Diego is leveraged negotiation.  When businesses find themselves in dispute over a breach of contract or failure to perform, it is important to work with a legal partner who has a proven and effective approach to litigation.

The experienced attorneys at the Watkins Firm have more than 40 years of experience serving the business, science and tech, real estate and medical / healthcare communities here in San Diego and across California.  When our clients face an internal or external business dispute or lawsuit we work quickly to establish a thorough, well-documented chronology and a mastery of the financial damages associated with the dispute at hand.  This preparation and attention to detail puts us in a position to enter into leveraged negotiations with the other party.  The documentation of important agreements, communications, and the damages that result from another party’s actions provide that leverage.

The Watkins Firm is Able to Resolve the Majority of our Business Dispute Cases through Leveraged Negotiation

It may surprise you to learn the Watkins Firm is able to resolve the vast majority of our business dispute cases through leveraged negotiation.  This is the fastest and least expensive route to resolve our client’s challenges while accomplishing their goals and objectives.

One of the most important issues associated with leveraged negotiation is a mastery of the potential damages associated with the case.  “Damages” is a legal term for the financial cost or exposure associated with the dispute.  We apply 40+ years of business litigation experience to identify all potential damages and use this to gain the attention of opposing parties and their counsel to get their attention and drive them to the negotiating table.

The successful track record and reputation of the Watkins Firm lets the other parties to the transaction know that you are serious about resolving the dispute, and are willing and able to take the steps necessary to do so.  We create and foster a productive working atmosphere in order to facilitate effective conversations and negotiations.  We understand our client’s objectives with respect to the dispute, as well as the relationship(s) that underlie them.  We work to preserve valuable business partnerships when necessary while resolving the disputes at hand.

When leveraged negotiation doesn’t resolve all of the issues at hand, the Watkins Firm is prepared to represent our clients in business mediation and, if necessary, arbitration.
