An Introduction to Effective Settlements in Litigation - Getting it Right

Introduction

The majority of disputes end in settlement or compromise rather than being decided by a court.

Settlement can be achieved by simple negotiation or as a result of mediation or some other form of alternative dispute resolution.

The aim of this learn live course is to introduce you to the law and practice for valid and effective settlement agreements for use in England & Wales.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will cover the following:

• The effect of a settlement
• How to reach a settlement, the use of privilege and the without prejudice status of negotiations
• Examples of ways of documenting settlements
• Whether a settlement agreement can be set aside, and if so, when
• How to enforce a settlement, and in what circumstances can a settlement agreement be found to be unenforceable?

Recording of live sessions: Soon after the Learn Live session has taken place you will be able to go back and access the recording - should you wish to revisit the material discussed.
