We have all heard the saying that more often that not "a bad settlement is better than a good judgement".
Perhaps there is some merit in the statement. However, it is always preferable to aim for a "great" settlement and there are techniques and strategies that can help you attain that goal. Principled negotiation is that type of negotiation which will allow you to negotiate, keeping in mind the best interests of your client as well as those of opposing parties and all the while respecting established ethical considerations.
Adapted for the members of the Quebec Bar, this interactive seminar will provide participants with an opportunity to learn about, apply and experiment with various negotiation techniques that have a proven track record. Other professionals such as mediators, notaries, business leaders and corporate negotiators, from both the public and private sectors are also welcome.
Three days of top-notch training
The program is designed as an intensive 3 day course and will be taught by Alain Paul Martin, professor at Harvard, who will introduce us to the Harvard University Global System™. This is an opportunity which should not be missed!

Negotiating with success
Practical exercises
