Dear Newsletter Reader–

Welcome to the first issue of Settlement Perspectives’ monthly(ish) newsletter, designed to explore even further what we usually discuss — thoughts on how to resolve disputes and get your deal done.

A natural question to ask before we publish the first newsletter is whether a new publication is even necessary — wouldn’t another blog post do just fine? Like any good lawyer I’ll respond with “maybe,” but I think a newsletter format works better to discuss:

  • Upcoming posts on Settlement Perspectives;
  • Recent news, comments and other events; and
  • Recent posts on Settlement Perspectives.

What’s Next on Settlement Perspectives

A few of you have asked what’s in the pipeline at Settlement Perspectives — what’s next on the editorial calendar? While topics change to fit events (and, admittedly, moods and whims), posts with the following working titles are in various stages of research and preparation; you should see each of the following in the next month or so:

  • One Tire Too Many: An Unexpected Lesson in Trust
  • Do I Have to Pay the Other Side’s Attorneys’ Fees, Too? How Rule 68 Can (Sometimes) Help
  • Is There a Business Case for Dedicated Settlement Counsel?
  • One Way to Take Your Early Case Assessment to the Next Level
  • Decision Tree Analysis: How to Put Your Tree Into Action.
