# negotiate in legal cases — Legal Counsel

As Legal Counsel, 'negotiating in legal cases' isn’t just about courtroom settlements – it permeates almost *all* client work. Daily tasks include drafting settlement agreements, mediating disputes (often pre-litigation to avoid court entirely), and negotiating with opposing counsel on discovery requests, document production scope, and even extensions of deadlines. It extends to contract negotiations *before* issues arise, aiming to preemptively mitigate risk for the client. Tools used are heavily communication-based: email chains, phone calls, video conferences, and increasingly, collaborative online platforms for document sharing & redlining. Success isn’t always a ‘win’; it's achieving the best *realistic* outcome given the facts, legal precedent, and client objectives – sometimes that means conceding on minor points to secure crucial gains elsewhere.
