Settling vs. Going to Trial in Business Litigation
In your case, you may have the option to settle outside of court. However, handling a dispute in a trial could also be advantageous. How do you know which is best?
Below is information about the advantages and disadvantages of settling and going to trial:
Trial advantages:
- Secures a binding decision from a judge or jury
- Offers the opportunity to present evidence, make arguments, and defend your reputation in a public setting
- Makes certain legal remedies, such as punitive damages, available
Trial disadvantages:
- Formal court processes can be lengthy and result in higher legal fees and associated costs
- You do not have control of a judge or jury’s decision
- The publicity of a trial may be damaging to your organization’s reputation
Settlement advantages:
- You can settle disputes through mediation and arbitration, which are generally less time-consuming and costly
- Mediation and arbitration are much more private than trial
- You can retain control over the outcome of your case in mediation and collaborate with the other party to reach a mutually agreeable solution
- By selecting your arbitrator, you can have a clear idea of how they will handle your case
Settlement disadvantages:
- Certain mediation decisions may not be binding
- Mediation and arbitration could be unsuitable for your dispute and limit the legal remedies you can seek
