The Complex Trial Process
Complex litigation usually requires a judge or jury to step in and resolve the legal issues at stake. Although many complicated cases settle during the discovery process, this is only sometimes the case before the case proceeds to trial. When a fair settlement isn’t possible, the parties can avoid facing a drawn-out, expensive court process. The longer the case is litigated, the more costly for everyone involved. In rare cases, complex litigation can take years to resolve. Teams of attorneys, expert witnesses, and other personnel are necessary during complex litigation.
When a judge or jury finally resolves a case, the settlement amounts may be huge. Due to the massive amount of money and time at stake, pursuing settlement and resolution is important because it may reduce the need for complex litigation.
