Civil Litigation Settlement Negotiation Help

Job ID: 40199963

Budget: $50 – $100 USD

I will be negotiating a civil dispute directly with the opposing party—no attorneys or mediators at the table—so I need an experienced civil-litigation professional to guide me behind the scenes. Your role is to help me weigh the merits of my position, identify realistic settlement numbers, and craft language that closes the matter cleanly and protects me from future claims.

You will receive the pleadings, evidence, and prior correspondence as soon as we start. From there, I’d like:

• A concise strategy memo outlining leverage points, risk exposure, and a recommended settlement range.
• Talking points I can use in the meeting.
• A draft settlement agreement compliant with my state’s civil-procedure rules, delivered in Word and PDF.
• One revision cycle after my feedback.

I’m aiming for a quick turnaround—initial advice within 48 hours—so I have time to prepare before sitting down with the other party. When you respond, please highlight similar negotiations you’ve supported and your typical workflow for this kind of advise-and-draft engagement.
