Senior Skills Professor, University of Florida, Levin College of Law

  • Negotiation is one of the most important skills a lawyer can possess. It is a skill that should be practiced over and over. There are daily opportunities to negotiate whether in the context of a transaction, the settlement of a litigation matter, a fee agreement, or a raise. Everyone negotiates. Not everyone negotiates effectively.

    This course is for the experienced as well as for the novice negotiator. The intuitive negotiator will become more mindful and deliberate by acquiring a conscious understanding of what works and why. The novice negotiator will learn the newest and most effective framework for conducting negotiations. This course will explore various styles of negotiation, developing a negotiation plan, managing a negotiation, dealing with tactics, and closing the deal.
