Law professionals, can you describe a challenging contract negotiation you were involved in and one strategy that helped resolve it?

All contract negotiations have points of contention between parties. Typically, these contentions occur when each side has its own interests and goals that it is trying to accomplish. One way to overcome these legal obstacles is through open communication with the opposing side. Often, a phone call and a candid discussion can help resolve a negotiated resolution for both sides. A lack of open dialogue between the opposing parties can result in negotiation breakdowns, which is not beneficial for anyone.
