Yesterday, several clients needed our help because of the devastating airport fire in Southern California. I had to cancel my early morning “How to Negotiate” Web3 Wednesday Metaverse presentation and take care of business.

Today to try and make up for any inconvenience, I’ve created this page to share my best negotiation resources that I believe will help traditional artists, creators, and entrepreneurs and also those leveraging AI, Web3, and the Metaverse negotiate better deals. When it comes to licensing agreements and platform hosting, these tips will steer you away from bad situations and help you negotiate more favorable and profitable terms and outcomes.

The fact is, lawyers negotiate every day, whether it’s hammering out settlement agreements, drafting contracts, or advocating for our clients in court. Developing strong negotiation skills is essential for achieving favorable outcomes, building lasting relationships, and enhancing professional reputations.

Over the past three decades, I’ve had the opportunity to watch gifted lawyers, mediators, negotiators, and judges negotiate incredible deals. I’ve also had the chance to perfect, in my own way, the art of negotiation through countless trials and multi-million-dollar cases. In these resources, I share the strategies, techniques, and insights I’ve observed, learned, and gained to help you close better deals and navigate negotiations with confidence and finesse.
