Description

Attorney Eric C. Boughman presents for the Celesq AttorneysEd Center, exploring strategic, emotionally intelligent negotiation skills to lead high-stakes legal disputes with clarity and control in his seminar:

Command and Influence:  Strategies for Leading Difficult Negotiations
In this seminar, we explore how attorneys can take command of difficult negotiations by blending strategic insight with emotional intelligence. Drawing from behavioral economics, power dynamics, and proven mediation techniques used in legal practice, we examine how attorneys can maintain authority, reframe resistance, and shift leverage without escalating conflict. Participants will learn to spot hidden interests in litigation, transactional, and client-facing contexts; neutralize aggressive tactics from opposing counsel; and guide negotiations with clarity and purpose. Through real-world scenarios and tactical frameworks drawn from actual legal disputes and deal-making, attendees will gain the skills to lead even the most challenging negotiations with composure and control. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to influence outcomes, protect their client’s position, and turn negotiation pressure into opportunity, whether in court, settlement conferences, or complex deal tables.
