Roundtable: Lawyers need to know when it’s right to settle

Stephenson Harwood partners Richard Garcia and Adam Culy recently led a roundtable with in-house counsel, in association with The Lawyer, discussing settlement strategies and when to settle.

However, knowing whether to cut your losses before things go too far, and knowing when and how such a move should be made, is crucial to reaching a satisfactory outcome.
