Professional negotiators: an international competition among law students “INC-Russia 2020” starts at RUDN

The essence of the competition is to simulate negotiations on the conclusion of an international transaction or an employment contract, and the resolution of disputes arising from the implementation of an international contract. Each team consists of 4 students from 2 universities, representing in the negotiations both sides - the company and the client. Negotiations are conducted in English and are limited in time. The performance of the teams is evaluated by a panel of judges of three specialists.

The first day featured a master class by Joel Lee, professor of law at the National University of Singapore. The speaker presented the main aspects of negotiation, strategies and practical examples.

“Master classes by foreign experts make it possible to look at the problem from a different angle. It really motivates me! I am grateful to RUDN University for the opportunity to participate in such competitions!” says Anastasia Vereschagina, 2nd year student of the Moscow State Law Academy n.a.Kutafin.

“The lecture was quite interesting, It is important to remember that both parties can win in the negotiations and we must strive for this,” said Albert Khairutdinov, 4th year student at the RUDN University Law Institute
