International negotiation

The Project
Negotiations happen everywhere. We negotiate with others - adversaries, interested
third parties, friends - with our separate goals, and prejudices. Successful
negotiators understand not only their own goals and prejudices, but those of all
other parties to a negotiation and they maneuver through these competing concerns
through advanced preparation, strategic-thinking, and execution. The International
Negotiations Handbook: Success Through Preparation, Strategy, and Planning is designed to
provide tools and ideas to assist every party to a negotiation to be a more effective
advocate for its interests and, as a result, to achieve successful negotiations overall.

This project is the result of a year-long joint effort between Baker & McKenzie and
the Public International Law & Policy Group (PILPG). Baker & McKenzie has
provided sophisticated legal advice and services to many of the world's most
dynamic and global organizations for more than 50 years.The Firm's more than
3500 lawyers are citizens of more than 60 countries and speak more than 65
languages, and one of its core values is to encourage all of its lawyers and staff to
participate in service to others. Across its offices, Baker & McKenzie makes a
significant commitment to helping others, through pro bono legal service,
community service, civic leadership and charitable giving. The Firm's pro bono and
community service practice takes many forms, ranging from multi-country projects
on behalf of global organizations, to local efforts to represent children, foster
entrepreneurship, raise funds for medical research, support the arts and more.
PILPG is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that operates as a global pro bono law
firm providing free legal assistance to states and governments involved in conflicts.
To facilitate the utilization of this legal assistance, PILPG also provides policy
formulation advice and training on matters related to conflict resolution. To date,
PILPG has advised over two dozen states and governments on the legal aspects of
peace negotiations and post-conflict constitution drafting, and over two dozen states
and War Crimes Tribunals in Europe, Asia and Africa concerning the protection of
human rights, self-determination, and the prosecution of war crimes. In January
2005, a half dozen of PILPG's pro bono clients nominated PILPG for the Nobel
Peace Prize for "significantly contributing to the promotion of peace throughout the
globe by providing crucial pro bono legal assistance to states and non-state entities
involved in peace negotiations and in bringing war criminals to justice."
The union of Baker & McKenzie and PILPG for this important effort is unique and
synergistic in many ways. The global reach of Baker & McKenzie's practice for its

clients results in a team of lawyers experienced in cross-border advocacy in many
areas of law and nearly every region and culture of the world. PILPG's expertise
and experience in post-conflict negotiations positions it among all global nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs) to provide pro bono representation to the
political parties, governments and other entities that seek peace after conflict in
many corners of the world. The union of these two entities is a first of its kind and
blends the experience of public and private practitioners to create a series of
mechanisms used in negotiations to help clients achieve success. Baker & McKenzie
and PILPG have a common interest in assuring that significant negotiations at critical
junctures of the peace process do not fail because of a lack of skill, training, or legal
representation. The two groups also share experience in international advocacy in
many settings and a commitment to serving the public with the highest quality
attorney representation. Finally, Baker & McKenzie and PILPG share a mutual
respect and appreciation for each other and plan to use this exercise as an
opportunity to provide joint-training sessions and to distribute the lessons embodied
in The Handbook in post-conflict arenas around the world
