Ed Hansen, Val Gross, and Morgan Richman will run a highly interactive two-part program, “How to Make Complex Contracts and Negotiations Work: Tips and Practices You Can Use Today,” at the Eastern Regional SIGnature Event. The program will guide attendees through complex contracting and collaborative negotiating, providing actionable strategies that can be used in real-world scenarios right away.
In the first session, the team will define and deconstruct "complex" contracts. Attendees will learn techniques to simplify contracts and will learn how to transform a "bad" contract into a user-friendly document that constituents will want to use. The second session will focus on hardcore collaborative negotiating techniques. Using a scenario-based approach, participants will learn the hard skills necessary for building a collaborative negotiating environment, including how to avoid barriers to collaboration, how to achieve alignment, and how to address FUD—fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Past attendees have noted that our team’s approach to negotiations is an “amazing paradigm shift . . . in stark contrast to the typical high-strung approach.”
The event will be held at the Harvard Club of New York City on Thursday, September 12, 2019, from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm ET.
