It’s inevitable: there will be a time when you need to negotiate with someone when you feel you have less bargaining power than they do. You can dread it, give up before you start, and painfully concede important points to you throughout the negotiation. Or, you can go into that negotiation armed with strategies that most people don’t know and which will result in your getting your desired outcome. Discover a new way to negotiate, enjoy the process, and come out a winner!

Jennifer L. Cook, Esq. is a Technology Contracts Attorney and Professional Negotiator with the Law Offices of Jennifer L. Cook in Celebration, Florida. She has been practicing for 19 years and is licensed in four states: Florida, California, Pennsylvania and Texas. She has negotiated thousands of contracts with hundreds of companies, including Microsoft, IBM, HP, Sun, Apple, Dell, Brocade, and Hitachi. Ms. Cook has negotiated millions of dollars of savings annually for companies for such companies as Symantec and PeopleSoft, as well as medium-size companies and startups. She negotiated savings of $38 million dollars for Symantec in one year alone, obtained 200% increases of a client’s consulting fees by renegotiating customer service agreements, and has negotiated dozens of supposedly "non-negotiable" agreements (with Microsoft, Adobe, Macromedia, etc.) and achieved desired results. Ms. Cook works with companies to identify and achieve their business goals using the best legal means available. Rather than identifying legal obstacles, she strives to use the law to help clients achieve their business objectives.

Hope to see you there!

We are in the process of changing the website, since Meetup.com REQUIRES that if you set up repeating meetings they be on a regular schedule, when in fact, we have no idea what day our next meetup will be, it depends on when we can get sponsorshiop and a location.

Until we get a new webiste that accommodates meetings where the date changes from month to month, IF YOU DON'T GET AN EMAIL THE WEEKEND BEFORE THAT THE MEETUP IS ON, ASSUME IT IS NOT.
