The International Negotiations Handbook - Baker & McKenzie

PILPG and Baker & McKenzie
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.
