I filed a suit for wrongful termination, retaliation, and discrimination against my former employer. Barely after serving my former employer, their attorney reached out to me to discuss settlement. While, I am open to settlement, I am not sure if I will lose any leverage. My lawyer told me I have a solid case and the amount I am seeking is in the high six figures. Is worth meeting with their attorneys to discuss settlement options?

see what they are offering, trial is expensive, can be variable, and may cut into how much you can get.

Always worth it to hear out the settlement offer, just know that they will lowball to start

Thanks! I agree. They will probably lowball me at first, but I'll see what they say. Initially, they wanted me to bring my evidence and discuss my claim with them but I turned that down, I know I have leverage, and I going to play it to my advantage.

They will want to settle. Going to court would be a reputational risk and they’ll do anything to stay out of the headlines.

Eventually you’ll likely settle. Keep in mind that the full process to take them to court takes years and a lot of money. Might as well start negotiating. If it is way too low obviously keep pushing on…
