Maron Marvel’s Settlement Counsel practice has brought closure to some of the largest, most volatile and complex litigations in the country.
Maron Marvel’s Settlement Counsel service focuses exclusively on affecting a targeted, efficient end to a matter to the satisfaction of the client. Our singular focus as Settlement Counsel is to design and deliver a resolution to the client’s satisfaction.
This unparalleled service is specifically designed for business owners, boards of directors, c-suite leadership, general counsels, executive claims management, third-party administrators, risk managers, bankruptcy trustees as well as domestic and off-shore brokers. Settlement Counsel can be effective for plaintiffs and defendants alike.
We help the client control the time, expense and risk of litigation by working to end the risk. The client receives an unrelenting advocate who is strategically positioned to achieve the exact disposition the client wants and needs.
Settlement Counsel is neither a litigation counsel nor a mediator. Settlement Counsel first works exclusively with the client to identify a path to resolution in the sole interest of the client.
Using the protections of settlement discussions, we actively engage in direct and productive dialogue with the opposing side, free of the posturing, bluster, endless discovery, hourly billing and other constraints of litigation.
Drawing on our years of successful results and deep capabilities in resolving the most complex cases, we patiently and pragmatically identify common interests and key issues. We find the solution to the problem.
The Settlement Counsel practice works independently of litigation and litigators and does not direct or interfere in that process. This is not mediation; your Settlement Counsel works only to achieve your interests. This is a highly disciplined and refined advocacy for the client.
When used alone or as a parallel strategy in lawsuits, Settlement Counsel is a positive and powerful message to any opponent.
By using Settlement Counsel, a client communicates conviction, deep experience and legal sophistication to the opposing side. The use of Settlement Counsel is a signal to the key decision-makers of the opposition that the client is strategic and knows how to operate beyond the restrictions of conventional litigation.
Settlement Counsel allows the client to provide the opponent a simple choice – the potential for forward thinking, more expedient resolution which could also benefit the opponent, or, a typical litigation, with its time draining delays, expense and uncertain outcomes.
The use of Settlement Counsel is uniformly applauded, welcomed and respected by judges and enhances a client’s standing with them as well as with mediators.
