Law firm management professionals spend the bulk of their day communicating with partners, employees and business partners. Although it is sometimes hidden in the conversations, much of the dialogue revolves around negotiation and/or obtaining buy in. Time is spent listening to sales pitches from business partners and then pitching ideas to law firm partners.  Negotiating with business partners makes many people uncomfortable.

This session will give attendees several tips to become more comfortable with the negotiating process and view it as an opportunity.
