Although it can be difficult to receive advice that a settlement is in your or your company’s best interest when you firmly believe that you are in the right, in some cases a settlement, even if you are in the right or the other party is in the wrong, is the more sound business decision. The settlement allows all parties to avoid the time and expense of going to court or to trial, and to avoid the uncertainty that comes with leaving the resolution of your case to a judge or jury -- even if you think your position is right, a judge or a jury may see the case much differently.
