Welcome to the Negotiation Prosm
I am Phil Marcus, attorney, MIT graduate in electrical engineering, long-time business owner, and expert in negotiation and intellectual property, and I am the Negotiation Pro. How can I help you?
Lawyers have many specialties among them, and I have chosen the ones I believe I can best help you with: Negotiating business contracts and deals to end disputes; training people to negotiate contracts that are carried out without a hitch; marketing patent licenses; and intellectual property law.
Opportunities
Your company has the biggest opportunity it has even had, if only you can negotiate a deal with another company.
It might be a contract to provide some Fortune 100 will it needs of certain widgets the next 5 years. Or a chance to team with another company to pool talents and bid on a big contract. Or sub to a company that has or hopes to get an important contract. Or be employed by the company of your dreams.
You are anxious about either scaring off the other company, or leaving money on the table, or just not all that comfortable negotiating. You think you should hire a professional to negotiate and get a good deal for you. Engage a negotiating pro.
Disputes
Your business is embroiled in a dispute with another company, and is already in court or threatened with a lawsuit, or you think you will need to sue. Paying for litigation—lawyers and expert witnesses—is very expensive. The deposit with the lawyer could easily be $5000 or $15,000 or more. You think a professional could negotiate a resolution without going to court. Engage a Negotiation Pro
Do it Yourself Help
You have an important opportunity or dispute but not so large that it means 'the franchise'. You want to handle it yourself, but get some professional advice, or even a background negotiation consultant. You need to Gab with the Guru!
Training
You want to give employees or associates a course that will introduce them to the basics of negotiation done the right way. You don’t want just a course in how to trick people into deals, but in how to make deals that both sides are comfortable with. You want a course that helps teach how to control emotions during negotiation, or how to deal with difficult people on the other side of the table. Look at our seminars!
Patent Marketing
You have a patent or a pending patent on an invention, but no way to raise capital to make and market a product yourself. You need to license your invention. You need to hire someone who can both find potential licensees and then professionally negotiate a license agreement that will protect you while making you money. We do patent marketing
Intellectual Property
You think you might own some valuable intellectual property, created by you or your business. But it’s all very confusing: patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets. Which I.P. do you have? Do you have to register it? How do you keep it, and for how long? How do you protect it? You need professional legal advice on I.P. Law
