This intensive two-day workshop is for attorneys experienced in negotiation and mediation who want to improve their negotiation, mediation and advocacy skills. It will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on March 2 and March 3, 2020, at the CBA, 321 S. Plymouth, Chicago, IL.

The workshop will present cutting edge strategies for successful negotiation and advocacy and will provide insight on how to mediate difficult disputes.
