Today we are proud to feature our good friend and colleague Don Philbin as a guest blogger.
As readers may know, Don is an arbitrator, mediator, negotiator, AV-rated attorney, and business consultant, whose website is here. He is an experienced commercial litigator, and was general counsel and president of hundred-million dollar plus communications- and technology-related companies. He is listed in The Best Lawyers in America (Alternative Dispute Resolution; Woodward/White 2007, 2008). In addition to his other work Don frequently writes and speaks on topics pertinent to ADR, and is an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University Law School’s prestigious Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution. He serves as a co-manager of LinkedIn’s Commercial and Industry Arbitration and Mediation Group (here), and tweets about ADR-related topics on Twitter (follow Don here). Don can be contacted here.
Don was kind enough to send us a post on one of his favorite topics: brain science and its relevance to negotiation. His post briefly describes a seminar on this subject, which he attended the weekend before last, and which he found particularly compelling. Read about it here.
