As a lawyer and negotiations expert, I offer comprehensive consulting, coaching, or training focused on strategic negotiations, aimed at steering your key discussions towards optimal outcomes. My dual qualification as a lawyer and negotiation expert ensures optimal negotiation management with a full understanding of the legal relevance of the whole process. My additional dual qualification as a practitioner (negotiating over 150 complex transactions in the last 20 years) and author (developing an innovative negotiation concept that also scientifically explains best practices) guarantees the smart use of strategies and tactics. Only those who are able to understand why certain strategies and tactics work, can quickly and professionally adapt them to individual use cases.

Meinen Podcast Gastauftritt jetzt anhören!

In dieser Episode tauchen wir tief in die Welt der M&A-Verhandlungen ein und teilen wertvolle Erkenntnisse aus über 150 Verhandlungen. Wir sprechen darüber, welche Fehler unbedingt vermieden werden sollten und wie das "Driver Seat-Konzept" Verhandlungen erfolgreicher gestalten kann. Außerdem diskutieren wir, warum es strategisch unklug ist, bei M&A-Deals das erste Angebot zu machen, und erklären den Priming-Effekt sowie dessen Einfluss auf Verhandlungen. Zum Abschluss wagen wir einen Blick in die Zukunft und fragen uns, ob künstliche Intelligenz irgendwann in der Lage sein wird, für uns zu verhandeln. Und das ist noch längst nicht alles…

Chief Physician

"As a chief physician, I was very happy with my profession but rather unhappy with my former salary. Dr. Hermann Rock led the negotiations with the managing director with immense kindness, perfect methodology, and absolute precision. Initially, the opposing party showed little interest in my propositions, yet, with a strategic shift, Dr. Rock managed to engage their attention, dramatically increase their motivation, and secure my desired new salary. Fascinatingly, he consistently anticipated the opposing side's responses with remarkable accuracy and events transpired exactly as he predicted. My gratitude towards him is boundless, as I now not only find fulfillment in my career but also in my earnings again."

Negotiation Management: How the Four-Eyes Principle Protects Executives from Unrestricted Liability

In this article you will learn how the so-called four-eye principle fundamentally protects you as a managing director from unlimited liability. Since the ruling of the Higher Regional Court of Nuremberg on March 30, 2022, the obligations of the managing director of a GmbH with regard to the internal organization of the company have been significantly tightened. The role of the managing director in conducting negotiations is more diverse, as it seems at first glance.
