The Litigation Risk Management Institute is in the business of helping counsel understand and manage litigation and business risk.

We assist our clients to determine settlement valuations, develop settlement negotiation strategies and clearly communicate these issues to senior management. We can help you to:

• Control litigation costs.
• Implement systems to assure optimum cost and settlement policies for large volumes of routine litigation.
• Manage litigation and settlement for large, complex cases.
• Negotiate the best possible settlements.
• Decide whether or not to participate in ADR proceedings.
• Develop alternative fee arrangements that make sense for both parties.

For 25 years we have successfully assisted Fortune 500 companies and leading edge businesses dealing with national class action settlements, antitrust, intellectual property, toxic tort, product liability, securities law, insurance and breach of contract litigation, as well as large volumes of routine litigation.

It’s difficult enough for most lawyers to describe risk of the many single uncertain issues in a case in quantitative terms. It is far more difficult to integrate these individual uncertainties to come to a rigorous, explicit conclusion as to the settlement value of a case. We can show you how to integrate these judgments so that your listeners hear what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

Risk management is a two-step process:

• First, you must understand and quantify the risk to determine how much you should pay to be rid of it.
• Second, you need a strategy to negotiate the best possible settlement.
