If you run our final account dispute, who decides whether to settle?

Before any figure or concession goes to the other side, we agree three numbers with you in writing: your opening, your expected outcome and your walk-away. Every round is then measured against the floor you set. We write and record each round, and trade concessions for movement rather than giving them away. Each head carries its evidence and its realistic range, so you can see what an offer gives up. When a settlement is reached, the agreement deals with every head by name. That includes any head conceded at nil and both halves of retention, so nothing is left to argue about later. The release in it goes to your solicitor. Where a head will not move and the sums justify it, we build the money side of an adjudication on that head for whoever runs it.
