This virtual programme will appeal to anyone who wants to resolve disputes effectively. It will look at negotiation skills within the wider context of the events of 2020, and consider the language and characteristics of negotiation, the strategies and techniques involved and their application in transactional business and disputes. The programme will be contextualised for issues arising from the pandemic, including addressing disputes outside of court. The focus is shifting away from defending/advancing rights to understanding interests and building a flexible mechanism to take account of changing interests due to external factors.
The course will look at binding contract outcomes and providing a method of flexible and practical change to meet crises without undermining or damaging the relationship of the parties, including by looking at their commercial or business interests from a wider perspective than the enforcement of existing rights. In particular, the course is designed to develop a strategy to meet current and future problems brought on by the pandemic.
