About the Book

A comprehensive resource of effective tactics and strategies to help you gain the advantage when negotiating a legal or business matter

Effective negotiation is essential to the success of any law practice. To help you sharpen your negotiating skills for the challenges you face every day in your professional life, The Lawyer's Guide to Negotiation is a book for lawyers written by lawyers that is uniquely designed to make winning at the negotiating table the norm rather than a hit-or-miss proposition. By following the practical, no-nonsense principles and tactics outlined in this easy-to-read, common-sense guide, you´ll find out how to consistently get what you want out of any negotiating session.

The Lawyer's Guide to Negotiation is written by seasoned practitioners who have mastered the art of effective negotiation. In this practical guide, they share their experiences and provide you with their proven strategies and practical tips to help you:
  • prepare yourself and your client for the negotiation process

  • size up your opposition

  • seize control of the negotiation by using critical opening moves

  • determine the best time and place to negotiate

  • delay negotiations by buying yourself some extra time

  • pace negotiations to your advantage

  • set deadlines that will force your opponent to take action

  • use surprise as an effective negotiating tactic

  • make apparent concessions that are really concession inducers

  • handle one of the most delicate aspects of any negotiation -- the closing; including how to push the deal to a conclusion and what you shouldn't do at closing
