Use calculator to show CLE credit for your state.

There are times when we are forced to engage with individuals who we perceive as difficult. Often they employ strategies, threatening behavior, and an uncooperative working style as a means to achieve their objectives. While these instances are challenging, if we are committed to our objectives, we can still be effective negotiators by winning their willingness to cooperate.

  • Apply leverage without resorting to the force that damages relationships
  • Transform aggressive lawyers into productive negotiators
  • Convert hardball tactics into opportunities for understanding, relationship-building and productive dialog
