Settlement Evaluation

Structured workflow for settlement evaluation: organise the supplied facts and documents, identify missing information, draft or analyse in stages, and verify facts, authorities and assumptions before use.

This is a reusable litigation prompt from the Litigation AI Prompt Repository. It is intended for Malaysian civil litigation but can be adapted by changing the placeholders. Use the Universal Litigator Control Block first where source discipline, adversarial review and authority verification matter.

Prompt

Evaluate settlement options for `[PARTY]` based on `[MATERIALS]`, current procedural stage and commercial objectives.

Identify best, realistic and worst litigation outcomes; key uncertainty drivers; irrecoverable cost and management burden; enforcement risk; non-monetary objectives; confidentiality and precedent concerns; and timing leverage.

Develop a principled negotiation range and package options without false numerical precision. Include payment structure, releases, discontinuance, costs, interest, confidentiality, non-disparagement if relevant, enforcement/default terms, tax or regulatory allocation issues and authority to settle. Separate internal strategy from language suitable for a without-prejudice proposal.
