Negotiation Prep Sheet | Working Paper No. 001 | The Dispute Brief Most lawyers negotiate like litigators, entitlement math, positional arguments, and a lot of noise. Then they act surprised when the deal collapses or the “settlement” is unenforceable. This Negotiation Prep Sheet is a practical working paper for commercial negotiations, mediations, and settlement windows in arbitration or litigation. It forces disciplined preparation: BATNA/WATNA, interests, trade-offs, anchors, and offer packages, plus a settlement enforceability checklist. It is built for Nigerian practice and real process risk: authority, notice, proof gaps, timing pressure, and enforcement realities. Use it to negotiate outcomes, not arguments.
