Changing the negotiation game, step by step. 👇
We recently helped U.S. national team setter @michaelpwright1 to end his contract smoothly. Instead of a ‘case won’, we got a ‘done deal’.
🤝 Lawyers aren’t just a last resort: early advice prevents conflicts.
💡 To secure a smooth deal, we work with objective items through interest-based negotiation. All for an efficient, effective procedure.
Glad to have achieved the best possible outcome for Michael, who is now pursuing new heights with Turkish club @gsvoleybol.
