You're in the midst of negotiations. How do you navigate unexpected clauses brought up at the last minute?

Take a step back and thoroughly review the new clause. This isn’t just about stalling; it’s about giving yourself the space to assess the implications fully. Engage your team, and get a quick legal review if needed. Remember, staying calm and composed is key. Be agile—prepare to counter-propose or adjust your strategy on the fly. Flexibility is essential, but so is protecting your interests. If the clause significantly impacts your terms, don’t hesitate to request more time to consider it properly. Show that you’re adaptable yet firm, balancing moving negotiations forward with the ensuring the agreement is sound. Being prepared to navigate curveballs effectively can turn potential setbacks into opportunities for better outcomes.

When unexpected clauses arise in negotiations, stay composed and seek clarification on their implications. Assess their impact on your objectives and seek to understand the rationale behind them. Propose discussing them in detail after reviewing the terms to ensure fairness and alignment with mutual interests. Maintain flexibility while advocating for your priorities and be open to creative solutions that address concerns without compromising core interests.

I agree that you should treat it as any other part of the agreement and make sure that your needs will still be met, even with the clause included.

Last-minute clauses often reflect a fear or concern. Ask yourself what is behind those clauses. What is the other party not fully comfortable with yet? What is their ultimate interest? Whether clauses are introduced by stakeholders that are new to the negotiation, or are put forward to cement power or limit a potential downside - by understanding the rationale you’re one step closer to finding a solution. And luckily there are many potential solutions to satisfy an interest!
