legalcode-litigation-risk-assessment

Evaluate litigation risk across four dimensions — legal merit, factual strength, damages exposure, and reputational/strategic risk — to produce risk matrices with confidence-weighted probability assessments, cost-benefit analysis across three resolution branches (litigate, settle, mediate), and strategic recommendations. Use when deciding whether to file or defend a claim, re-evaluating litigation posture at a case milestone, advising a board or executive team on litigation exposure, preparing for settlement negotiations, or building a litigation budget with risk-adjusted spend scenarios. Supports pre-litigation (demand letter stage), early litigation (pre-discovery), mid-case (post-discovery), and late-case (trial approaching) assessment phases. Jurisdiction-agnostic with [JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC] markers for US federal/state, England & Wales, Australia, and EU commercial courts.
