What Is Settlement Counsel and Why You Should Care

What Is Settlement Counsel and Why You Should Care

In the latest episode of the Alternative Litigation Strategies podcast, Kevin had the privilege of interviewing Settlement Counsel and Mediator, Christopher Nolland. They discuss Christopher's career as a pioneer as settlement counsel, including recovering over $800 million for plaintiffs and saving tens of millions on the defense side, along with recognition from The American Lawyer, Texas Lawyer, and the National Law Journal.

They discuss how Christopher's interest in negotiation evolved into a full-time ADR and settlement counsel practice, and what differentiates the role from litigators and mediators, namely, a singular focus on resolution strategy. Christopher explains why litigators often struggle with settlement due to cognitive bias and over-advocacy, and why early involvement of settlement counsel can significantly improve outcomes by shaping strategy and avoiding stalled negotiations.

They also touch on the internal dynamics between litigation and settlement teams, and how a coordinated approach can drive better results, before reflecting on the growing adoption of settlement counsel in high-stakes disputes. You don't want to miss this episode!
