For 15 years, LawConsulted has been building a reputation not only as a reliable partner for clients but also as a company where employees have opportunities to grow, develop their skills, and keep pace with changes in the legal industry. Recently, our team held a corporate training on negotiations and mediation – an event that combined experience, practice, and team spirit.
Why Is This Important?
A modern lawyer is not only an expert in legislation but also a negotiator, strategist, and mediator. Clients increasingly expect from us not just conflict resolution in court, but also the ability to find compromises that save time, resources, and preserve business reputation. That is why we dedicated an entire day to developing negotiation and mediation skills.
The event was held in an interactive format. Instead of theory – real cases from our practice: corporate conflicts between shareholders, negotiations with government authorities, and pre-trial dispute resolution.
Participants were divided into teams and assigned different roles: business representatives, lawyers, mediators. This allowed everyone to look at the problem from a new perspective and practice negotiations in conditions as close to reality as possible.
We invited an expert from Germany with experience in international mediation, who demonstrated techniques for de-escalating conflicts, listening to the positions of all parties, and finding a balance of interests.
Practical Results
Following the training, LawConsulted employees developed several common strategies that will be actively applied in practice:
Preventive approach – risk analysis at early stages and creating conditions that exclude the possibility of conflict escalation.
Focus on parties’ interests – finding solutions that take long-term goals into account, not just short-term benefits.
Language of trust – the ability to present a legal position in clear and simple terms while maintaining respect for the partner.
Scenario thinking – preparing alternative outcomes in advance to maintain flexibility during negotiations.
What Does This Mean for Clients?
For clients, such internal trainings mean more than just professional growth for our employees. They ensure that every case at LawConsulted is considered from multiple angles, and that solutions offered are balanced, comprehensive, and well thought out. We are confident: this quality is what sets us apart from other firms on the market.
Conclusion
15 years of experience have convinced us: success does not belong to the loudest voice, but to the one who knows how to reach agreement. The corporate training on negotiations and mediation became another step in strengthening our internal culture – a culture that directly translates into protecting our clients’ interests.
