This competition aims to expose students to a form of consensual resolution of disputes that is increasingly prevalent in the community, while developing their skills of negotiation, perception and communication.

The Herbert Smith Freehills Negotiation Competition involves a simulated negotiation of a legal issue in which teams of two negotiators represent different parties to the dispute. The focus of the competition is the achievement of a negotiation outcome that satisfies the goals and expectations of each team’s client. Given this objective, no knowledge of the substantive law is necessary, and only limited pre-negotiation preparation is required.

For any queries regarding this competition, please contact Rustu Buyukcakar, the Negotiation Director.

For all other questions, please contact our Competitions VP Jake Alderson.
