Negotiation

The negotiation of enduring agreements is Pacific Resolutions’ forté.

No matter what you’re struggling with or what role you need us to play, we have the skill set to transform frustration into an enduring agreement.


There’s no one secret, system, or approach to achieve success at the negotiation table. You need to understand multiple approaches and know how and when to apply them. And we do, thanks to our decades of experience developing and executing negotiation strategies around the world. From North American interest-based negotiation to the wisdom of Sun Tzu, our team of experts can draw on theories across the spectrum of negotiation theory and from around the globe as they work with you to develop the right negotiation strategy for your situation. Our clients depend on us to:

  • Conduct situational, personality and cultural analyses.

  • Assess stakeholder interests and influence.

  • Analyze values, positions, interests and other factors.

  • Identify, explore and assess potential outcomes and their implications.

  • Plan the negotiation process.

  • Coordinate and execute negotiation sessions.

  • Achieve agreements and support their implementation.

Our record of success at the negotiation table speaks for itself. We have negotiated countless diplomatic protocols, pipeline benefit agreements with First Nations, protected stewardship areas, overlapping boundary agreements, revenue-sharing agreements, public policy changes, conventional business contracts and more.
