Disputes Nightmares: What would you do if your opponent in an ongoing dispute has run out of money?

DateTimeIn-Person

You’re deep into a particularly contentious dispute, the stakes are high, and you’re finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. But then you discover, your opponent has run out of money. Suddenly, the prospect of recovering your legal costs, damages, or even reaching a sensible settlement seems to vanish overnight. 

What do you do when your opponent can’t even afford to keep paying their own lawyers? How do you adapt your strategy when enforcement looks impossible, and the other side starts playing for time? Do you press on, cut your losses, or try to negotiate with someone who has nothing left to lose? 

Join us for our next Disputes Nightmare Flash Webinar, where we’ll tackle the practical and strategic headaches that arise when your opponent’s pockets run dry, including: 

  • Delays and stall tactics: How to respond when the other side drags their feet, hoping for a miracle. 
  • Increased litigation costs: Managing the extra expense of dealing with a litigant in person. 
  • Settlement delays: How to keep negotiations on track when the other side has no financial incentive. 
  • Enforcement issues: Is it worth pursuing a judgment if there’s nothing to collect? 
  • Setting yourself up for success: Steps you can take to avoid problems in the first place
