Subject: Ohio Sample Letter to Opposing Counsel concerning Settlement of Litigation Dear [Opposing Counsel's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss the possibility of resolving the ongoing litigation between our clients [Plaintiff's Name] and [Defendant's Name]. After careful consideration and in the interest of saving time, resources, and potential further dispute, we believe that it would be beneficial for both parties to explore settlement options. In order to initiate this process, we propose the following terms for your consideration: 1. Settlement Amount: We suggest that the parties engage in good faith negotiations towards reaching a mutually agreeable settlement amount. Our client is open to considering fair and reasonable offers. 2. Payment Terms: We believe it would be in the best interest of our clients to establish a suitable payment plan if applicable, to ensure prompt resolution of this matter. 3. Release of Claims: Upon successful settlement, it is essential that both parties agree to a comprehensive release of all claims and liabilities related to the current litigation. This release should encompass all causes of action, including but not limited to, breach of contract, negligence, and any other claims asserted in the pleadings. 4. Confidentiality Clause: We propose the inclusion of a confidentiality clause within the settlement agreement. This provision will prohibit both parties from disclosing any details of the settlement or the litigation itself, except as required by law or with prior written consent from both parties. 5. Compliance with Statutory Requirements: It is imperative that any settlement agreement executed complies with all applicable Ohio laws, regulations, and court rules. We firmly believe that a negotiated settlement will allow our respective clients to avoid the uncertainties of continued litigation and allocate their resources more effectively. Engaging in settlement discussions will also give both parties an opportunity to shape their resolution, potentially preserve business relationships, and avoid prolonged legal proceedings.
