Gain the Edge! Negotiation Strategies for Lawyers

When:  Dec 16, 2015 from 09:00 AM to 04:30 PM (ET)

- Do you know the latest research-based negotiation strategies that work? 
- Has your opposing counsel attended a negotiation course recently and picked up new skills?
- How do you really know you’re getting the best deal? 

 

YOU NEGOTIATE EVERY DAY. In fact, your ability to effectively negotiate may be the most critical skill you possess. Yet most negotiate instinctively or intuitively. This seminar will help you approach negotiations with a strategic mindset. 

And make no mistake – no matter how much you’ve negotiated, you can still learn. Adding that one new tactic may be the difference between winning and walking away empty-handed.

Martin Latz is one of the nation’s leading experts and instructors on negotiating techniques. A Harvard Law honors graduate, Marty will help make YOU a better lawyer.
