The Problem
A high-stakes negotiation is a series of compressed decisions. Most lawyers walk into the first one having never practiced this specific scenario. The opposing counsel has. The result is predictable — the prepared side wins the procedural ground that compounds into the substantive ground.
The Solution
Lawra Negotiation Coach is a multi-turn chat where you negotiate against an AI counterparty (parametrized: deal type, counterparty posture, leverage profile). After every move, a coaching layer surfaces what you played, what alternatives existed, and what the next 2 likely counterparty moves are.
Key Features
Configurable counterparty — deal type, posture (hard / collaborative / opportunistic), leverage asymmetry, time pressure.
Per-turn coaching — every move you make gets analyzed; the counterparty moves are then revealed with their reasoning visible.
Strategy patterns library — anchoring / framing / concessions / BATNA-strengthening / walkaway-credibility / parking-issues, surfaced when applicable.
Multi-jurisdictional scenarios — DR commercial, EU M&A, US litigation settlement, Asia-cross-border — each with its cultural negotiation norms.
Use Cases
Mid-market lawyer preparing for a complex settlement negotiation — runs the scenario 3 times against different counterparty profiles.
Junior associate first time taking the lead on a deal — practices the opening 5 moves against the AI before the real call.
CLE course on negotiation skills — Lawra is the practice partner; instructor reviews the transcripts with each student.
Best For
Litigators handling settlements, transactional lawyers, junior associates, law-school clinics, CLE programs.
