Negotiated settlement …

Our Dispute Settlement Services (“DSS”) are deigned to assist individuals and parties who for whatever reasons cannot get to the negotiated settlement either when negotiating between themselves or within the framework of private or institutional dispute resolution process.

In sports there are many cases where the parties need extra edge to get to the finish line in order to reach mutually acceptable settlement to their dispute. This is where our special niche and expertise in comes in relying not only on traditional methods of dispute resolution but diplomatic settlement approach.

In the recent article by the Harvard Law School Program in Negotiation, Jeswald Salacuse shows that international diplomacy techniques can be used for the business negotiators. As the author points out the diplomatic solutions have been around for many years yet they are not readily used in the negotiations:

“Nearly 300 years ago, Francois de Callieres, a distinguished French diplomat in the court of King Louis XIV, wrote on of the first practical manuals of modern diplomacy, On the Manner of Negotiating with Princes. First published in 1716, the book is still considered a primer on the subject and offers much useful advice for 21st-century negotiators. Here are six rules on negotiation for improving your deal diplomacy and fostering lasting partnerships.

The negotiated settlement services are designed to provide pragmatic solutions which are fair (acceptable to the parties) and services are rendered in timely manner. With expertise in law and diplomacy (Andrea is graduate of Center of Diplomatic and Strategic Studies in Paris) we are uniquely position to assist you.
