Developing the Strategy

Settlement discussions always begin with strategy. Typically, contracts disputes are so complex that there may be points that favor and disfavor a particular client in any given dispute.

It is absolutely essential to hone in on which legal arguments to make and how to make them. Attorneys at Gonzalez & Leigh distill complex disputes to their most basic points in order to establish a violation of law. Taken together, these facts create the foundation for the legal strategy that will equip you in any settlement discussion.


Alternative Dispute Resolution

When millions of dollars are at stake, litigation is often an imprudent solution. Commercial litigation can be costly and time consuming. Alternative dispute resolutions (ADR) represent one way to avoid these consequences. Our trial attorneys understand this and embrace the ADR process—properly positioning our arguments to maximize effect throughout every aspect.


Risk Evaluation and Cost Containment

Gonzalez & Leigh recognizes the importance of minimizing costs to clients and staying within given budgets. Our attorneys approach each dispute mindful of these considerations. At all stages of case management, Gonzalez & Leigh assesses and consults with clients regarding the costs and probabilities of taking particular legal action.
