    RAPID Resolution  

    Count on us to provide better outcomes in disputes

    Eversheds continues in its leading approach to dispute management and litigation. Building on our pioneering Early Case Assessment approach, we have developed RAPID Resolution - a project management system for handling disputes that focuses on your best practical outcome, reduces costs and gives you control.

    The benefit of our approach is that you have greater control of the dispute. You can drive events rather than be driven by them. With RAPID Resolution we work with you to agree the approach which achieves the optimum balance between the time and cost you want to invest in the dispute and the result you want to achieve.

    By thinking ahead and developing a proactive strategy, we can help you plan the best way to get the right result. It's a win/win situation - the outcome you're expecting at the price you're expecting.

    The proof it works

    • We successfully achieve our clients' objectives in 9 out of 10 cases.
    • 90% of all cases that we deal with are resolved out of court.
    • Of the cases where proceedings are issued (which make up only one third of the cases we deal with), 78% are resolved out of court.
    • Knowing that a ten-day trial costs on average £250,000, clients, by settling at an earlier stage, can save at least 50% of their legal costs.

    Our RAPID Resolution approach can be broken down into five stages:

    1. Review the essential facts
    2. Analyse the best practical outcome
    3. Plan your strategy
    4. Implement the plan
    5. Deliver the end result

    Too good to be true you may be thinking. But we know it works. However don't just take our word for it...

    "Continuity in the business is fundamental ... what we talked about was certainty, predictability, how much it was going to cost and what the objectives were that we were trying to achieve as part of litigation ...

    "... [RAPID] is so closely akin to the way that we would run and manage a programme within Capgemini that I would absolutely support it in future scenarios and future situations where litigation and inclusion of lawyers as part of a solution was an essential part of the way forward."
