How many times have you been in a position to negotiate with someone who is more aggressive than you are, who shouts at you and bullies you? How often do you say, after the fact, I wish I had known what to say then? Jackie Kessel, is a corporate attorney who has been negotiating deals from small to multimillion dollars in the Silicon Valley for the past 18 years. Jackie will step you through the techniques and tips to get the deal you want and to be a winner.
As a seasoned attorney and entrepreneur herself who started the Hi-tech Law Firm, Ms. Jacqueline B. Kessel, currently with McQuaid Bedford & Van Zandt, brought years of experiences and accumulated wisdom in helping and dealing with technology entrepreneurs, corporate executives, engineers and business professionals.
