TRY TO SETTLE

Nancy Richards-Stower developed this site so that the parties in a dispute, via "blind bids," can inexpensively (and easily) test their settlement numbers early (and as often as they like) possibly settling right away, but without sharing their numbers, or "bottom lines" with the other side should their numbers not overlap. This preserves their power to change valuations in the future, without exhibiting real, or perceived, weaknesses in their resolve... Communication is fostered on our site because the parties (or counsel) must communicate to set up the time and date for the bid session and agree to participate in "real time." We impose strict time limits. These factors focus the parties on resolution. It's easy.
