Negotiation in Real Life Episode 11 - James D'Apice, Chamberlains Law Firm

Negotiation in Real Life

In this episode of Negotiation in Real Life, I speak with James D’Apice. James is a corporate and commercial litigator with Chamberlains law firm.

While knowledge is all well and good, approachability is fundamental to James’ practice. Whether he’s before a judge, dealing with an opponent, assisting a colleague, or advising a client – he prides himself on making sure the right message gets through.

His approachability, combined with his knowledge, sees James regularly recognised as a prominent member of the legal profession.

James uses his skills to help companies, trusts and partnerships (and the people in and around them like directors, trustees, shareholders, partners and beneficiaries) protect and, where necessary, project their interests. This will often involve Court work where James is equally happy “on his feet” before the judge, or serving as part of a team, along with a barrister or two.

In 2018, James kicked off a revolutionary series of videos called “Coffee and a Case Note” giving casual, brief reports on recent legal cases over a cup of coffee. The series continues to this day. He also actively manages a YouTube channel, Instagram page, Twitter account, Facebook page, TikTok page and podcast sharing knowledge about recent decisions. In his off time, you might find James recording his horror movie podcast “Spooko” or reminiscing about the days when he used to make rap music.

In our conversation, we talk about:

• Aggression as one of the key errors in negotiation
• The space for emotion in negotiations
• The role of authenticity in negotiation
• The importance of knowing who you're negotiating with.
• The timing of when to mediate
• What to expect of a good mediator

... and much much more.
