- “Don stepped in to mediate a case with interesting legal issues and emotionally charged parties. He did a great job realistically evaluating the potential legal outcomes from both perspectives.

In a 25-year career of commercial litigation and five of full-time mediation and arbitration practice, Don Philbin’s “Deal or No Deal: Leveraging Information to Overcome Psychological Barriers to Efficient Deals” program stands out as one that actually gave me the tools to improve my practice the very next day. Don’s talk riveted my attention; made me laugh out loud; and, made me think of negotiation and mediation in an entirely different light. This program – without more – will equip in-house counsel to WAX the other side at the negotiation table AND to teach his outside counsel how to negotiate a better deal for him the next time around. The day of the marginalized client in settlement negotiations is over and Don Philbin is the guy with the bargaining talent to watch.
