EVERY AGREEMENT SHOULD BE DRAFTED WITH PRECISION AND FORESIGHT, AND WITH ASSISTANCE OF YOUR OWN COUNSEL.
FINAL THOUGHTS ON ACHIEVING A RESOLUTION Attorneys and parties should get the court involved in the settlement process by scheduling a judicial settlement conference early in the case. Unrepresented tenants may want this process so they have some additional safeguards and protection. By addressing specific settlement terms and issues, landlords can strive for settlement agreements that are well drafted, that help you achieve the goals of the case, avoid costly surprises, and that can limit exposure to future claims. These provisions help avoid post-settlement disputes, reduce the likelihood of a successful tenant challenge of a settlement provision, and provide a clear roadmap for regaining control of the premises and enforcement of judgments. Since settlement is a more cost effective alternative to completing a jury trial or a bench trial, the details matter. Every agreement should be drafted with precision and foresight, and with assistance of your own counsel.
