Many lawyers and litigants have the misconception that the parties do not have enough information to settle early in the litigation (or pre-litigation) and therefore consider mediation only on the eve of summary judgment or trial.

Writing a strong closing brief is one of the most important steps in the arbitration process. The final submission to the arbitrator offers counsel an opportunity to focus on the key issues and significant evidence in order to present their client’s case in the strongest and most persuasive light. Occasionally, an arbitrator has admitted that the closing brief was the impetus for changing their decision. While such circumstances are rare, the importance of writing a robust brief cannot be overstated. An excellent closing brief should serve as a roadmap, directing the arbitrator to the facts and law they will need to write a fair and lawful final award.
