There are myriad reasons and impediments to successful settlement negotiations in family law matters. One party may be unwilling to negotiate in good faith. Power imbalances may exist between parties. Sometimes people just want their day in court. This on-demand program details important areas of file management in relation to negotiation, including: preparation, the lawyer’s approach to negotiation, client motivations, obstacles to reaching a negotiated settlement, and parenting plans.
This on-demand program was originally presented as an in-person session on June 14, 2022, as part of our Advanced Negotiation Techniques for Family Lawyers program. Total running time is 1 hour.
