The unit will focus on interest-based negotiation and advocacy skills in the context of commercial, including cross-border, disputes.
The unit examines the theory and practices of mediation and negotiation as dispute resolution processes, using the Harvard model of principled (interest-based) negotiation. The focus is effective negotiation advocacy and collaborative problem-solving to progress towards settlement, using theory sessions, role plays and interactive exercises.
The unit provides a highly relevant and entirely transferable skill set for legal practitioners and for any professional wanting to strengthen their effectiveness in commercial negotiation. The unit is designed to give students practical skills in the area of commercial negotiation advocacy, in the context of the increasing use of alternative dispute resolution in all jurisdictions.
On successful completion of this unit, students will:

-
possess a sound understanding of, and have gained some practical experience in the practice of interest-based negotiation within a mediation process;
-
