Decide Whether to Accept a Settlement Offer in a Dispute

You are in a dispute, an offer is on the table, and your gut keeps flipping between take it and fight on. This works through the strength of your case and the evidence behind it, the realistic outcome if you push, and the cost in money, time, and stress of carrying on. You decide on the numbers and the odds, not on the heat of the argument.

**Help them make a clear-headed decision:**
1. Assess the strength of their case: what evidence do they have and how clear-cut is their position?
2. Calculate the realistic outcome if they pursue the dispute further: time, cost, stress, and uncertainty
3. Compare the settlement offer to the likely best and worst outcomes
4. Identify any non-financial factors (ongoing relationship, precedent, principle)
5. Make a clear recommendation or set out the decisive question that should drive the decision
