After 30 years of professional and corporate life, Lawrence Kaplan now provides business and legal consulting services on a wide variety of stimulating and demanding matters for clients in the United States, Europe and Asia.

The consultation and planning process always begins with a concerted effort to figure out what you want, what you really need, what you deserve, and how best to get there

In business or legal negotiations, keeping the edge is critical and using leverage effectively is a necessity. However, making a deal that is mutually satisfactory and lasting is the ultimate achievement.

For that outcome, one must be willing to bend, without breaking away from what is fair and what you want, and flow with the changing nature of opposing demands.

With that perspective, time, money and aggravation are minimized and you can move ahead with confidence. This is the basic principle of my consulting practice
