Settlement Conference

A settlement conference is a meeting where parties involved in a legal dispute come together to discuss resolving their issues without proceeding to trial. Typically facilitated by a neutral third party, such as a judge or mediator, the conference allows each side to present their viewpoint and propose potential solutions. The goal is to negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement, which can save time, reduce costs, and lessen the emotional strain of a court battle. If successful, the case is resolved peacefully; if not, the parties may proceed to trial.
