Amicable settlements are unpopular in Russian courts. Opponents are not ready to make concessions and want to «punish» the opponent in the heat of the conflict. But sometimes amicable settlements can really help solve a problem, saving time and money. Lawyers describe how they persuade their clients - entrepreneurs to come to terms with their counterparties. A certain impact on the situation has been made by the coronavirus pandemic. It is true, though, that sometimes negotiating peace is simply useless and on some occasions is even forbidden by law.

Artur Zurabian, ART DE LEX Partner, comments: «The main life hack in negotiations is not to limit oneself to the client's position, not to accept or share his emotions. As a rule, such a position of the principal is conditioned not only by business interests but also by his subjective emotions in relation to the situation itself and his opponents».
