The ideal time to get a legal dispute resolved is immediately prior to an IPO or acquisition event because these events tend to require that the company has no outstanding legal disputes.
I find it funny that people seem uncomfortable with facts like this. It's not emotional or bad behaviour, it's simply the rules. Everyone has to work within the law and the rules and it turns out that the law and the rules provide an ideal time for resolving such disputes - pre IPO or pre acquisition.
I'd be pretty uncomfortable with a senior manager or CEO who didn;t understand things like that - it means either that they will get caught out, or will not know how to win when the time comes to win.

- croon 11y agoI completely understand your question. But the fact that I do and that you asked it is kind of absurd, if you step back a bit. Just because things can be argued to be within the rules does not make them okay. I guess it hinges on: Are you refraining from crimes because they are against the law or because you think they are wrong?
- protomyth 11y agoI've always believed that hinges on your belief at the truth of your dispute. If you truly believe you have not been treated correctly, and presumably that is the reason you are bring up the dispute, then the timing is just a tactic in dealing with the behavior of others. The timing might be the only way you can get your dispute resolved. If you are pushing false claims then timing is just one more step in your unethical behavior. Liars aren't ethical in the first place.
