Negotiations between partners require legal and strategic skills. The lawyer guides the process, protects the client's interests, and helps reach agreements on complex issues such as the division of profits, assets, and debts. Negotiations involve assessing the parties' positions, identifying points of disagreement, and proposing creative solutions to complex problems. The lawyer uses legal and strategic tools to manage the negotiations, including preparing drafts of provisional agreements, conducting joint meetings with the parties, and providing ongoing advice to the client throughout the process.
