ELSA Maynooth is delighted to invite you to apply for our third annual International Negotiation Competition! The competition draws participants from as far away as the United States and India, as well as from around Europe.

Why Negotiation?
Most disputes in which lawyers are involved do not end up in the courts. Instead, they are settled by way of some form of compromise between the parties – a negotiated agreement. In order to ensure that a client’s best interests are protected in the context of a negotiated, out-of-court agreement, it is imperative for lawyers to possess effective negotiation skills. This applies on both a national and an international level.

The ELSA Maynooth International Negotiation Competition is designed to foster the skills of negotiation in students of law at an early stage in their careers and to provide the opportunity to gain first-hand negotiation experience!

The competition takes place on the historic campus of the National University of Ireland in Maynooth, a picturesque university town on the outskirts of Dublin. The participation fee includes three nights’ accommodation, full board catering, a social and cultural programme and a gala ball!

The deadline for applications is the 16th of December 2016.

Apply today! We look forward to welcoming you to Maynooth!
