You’ve got the skills to be a great negotiator—a real DEALMAKER.
What’s the most important thing YOU think other lawyers need to know about #negotiation? #lawtwitter

Great negotiators are like poker players—they read the room and can change their approach on a dime. Step up your game. Make yourself a DEALMAKER. #lawtwitter

There are about 600,000 heart attacks annually. There are 2,000 heart transplants each year. When a heart attack occurs, is the transplant team automatically called? 1% of cases go to trial—why are we hiring/paying for trial prep/teams?

A great DEALMAKER is a unicorn. What are you doing to find unicorns? 🦄

The best movie lawyer ever is in 2015’s Bridge of Spies.
James B. Donovan, an insurance defense lawyer who successfully negotiated a spy swap with the Russians (and played by Tom Hanks), is a #DisruptiveLawyer.
Find yourself a Donovan, it will change your bottom line.

A Disruptive lawyer does not measure themselves by the fees they bill, but by how much in fees and indemnity they save. #CruserMitchell #TheDisruptiveLawyer

Early resolution rarely makes a lawyer famous, but by far it has the biggest impact on a company’s bottom line. Given this impact, what are you doing to find the best DEALMAKERS?

When retaining a lawyer, here’s the most important question:
“Since 92% of all cases settle, how great of a DEALMAKER are you?”
Cruser Mitchell Novitz Sanchez Gaston & Zimet LLP retweeted
1% of civil litigation cases go to trial.
So why hire lawyers that will work up cases like they’re going to trial, settle them on the courthouse steps, and then bill for the whole thing?
If you’re not hiring DEALMAKERS who seek early resolution, you’re leaking money every day.

I love a good “war story.” But what’s the average life of your cases? What’s the average cost of legal + indemnity for your cases? If you don’t know, you’re working under the Blockbuster model.

Next time you’re thinking about what you need in a #lawyer, look for the one that will disrupt the status quo. You need a DEALMAKER. You won’t regret it.

Disruptive Lawyers have two things:
1️⃣ The skill set to meet your organization’s definition of a WIN.
2️⃣ A plan that will wrap-up their cases efficiently and save you money.
(Psst - that plan is #litigationmanagement.)

I’ll let you in on a secret: The law firm business model isn’t designed in the clients’ best interest.
Associates are trained to hit a billing quota using billable hours. They’re not worried about economy and efficiency.
It’s time to vet your lawyers for DEALMAKER ability.

It was terrific to be part of the panel discussing Social Inflation and Nuclear Verdicts at the historic Harvard Club last week. Thanks to my co-panelists @CJCONNON, Tim Fletcher, and Laura Gregory and the Massachusetts Reinsurance Bar Association for making it a lively session.
