The Contract Negotiation Handbook


Book Description

Many books have been written on negotiation tactics and a few books have been written on contract drafting, but no book has combined the two disciplines into one-until now. Resulting from over 10 years of actual negotiation experience as both buyer and seller, author Stephen Guth offers insight into a world of negotiations and contracts that few ever see. This book isn't a feel-good book on win-win negotiations. It's an insider's view into real life negotiation tactics and ploys. Readers will learn how to use negotiation tactics such as the Columbo, the Price Slice and Dice, and the Signature Limit Lasso. Readers will also learn how to spot and counter vendor ploys such as the Pop-Tart, Mirroring, and the Only Game in Town. To put it all together, readers are instructed on contract drafting tricks such as Expressly Implied Warranties, the Endless Indemnification, and the Unlimited Limitation of Liability. Readers will never look at contracts the same way again.




The Negotiation Handbook


Book Description

A guide to negotiating, written for a broad audience. It walks the reader through the world of negotiating step-by-step, including the macro and micro processes of negotiations, the importance of adequate preparation, knowledge of the rules, and the role and usefulness of a mediator.




The Practical Negotiation Handbook


Book Description

Effective negotiations lead to sustainable partnerships, help both parties to achieve higher goals than they would alone and allow organizations to avoid the costly price of conflict. This book outlines a simple and powerful method of negotiating, either in person or virtually. The Practical Negotiation Handbook outlines a tried and tested five-step process for negotiating lasting agreements, with best practice case examples, checklists and tools. This thoroughly practical guide brings together over 25 years of the author's experience negotiating in a variety of countries and contexts to give you the confidence to negotiate any kind of contract or agreement, large or small. Using a 'solution-focused' approach which centres around preferred outcomes rather than conflicts, and on questioning and listening to the other party rather than trying to convince or impose and making assumptions, this pragmatic book will help build your profile as an ethical and respected negotiator. From contextual analysis and goal preparation to the importance of communication and building an offer, it cuts through the theory and clearly outlines the skills needed to influence the outcome and implementation of any negotiation.

Negotiation 2007-2008


Book Description

Negotiation deals comprehensively with the challenging task of becoming a successful legal negotiator. Every lawyer must gain the skills necessary to master the art of negotiation, and so this manual takes the student through a step-by-step guide on how to prepare and conduct a negotiation. It provides clear explanations of strategies and tactics as well as accounts of the psychological and behavioral influences that can affect the outcome of a negotiation. Each stage of the negotiation process is dealt with in detail so the student can approach it with confidence. The pre-negotiation preparation, from identifying the context and parties' objectives to planning, formulating and evaluating an argument, is dealt with first. This is followed by an examination of best practice when dealing with information exchange, concessions, and decisions on an appropriate strategy, providing thorough preparation for situations that are common to professional life. Negotiation includes an account of the possible risks and difficulties likely to be encountered in a negotiation, and the student is given tips on contingency planning and common mistakes.
