The programme
From counterparty draft to returned redline, before lunch.
One simulated negotiation runs through the morning: a counterparty MSA lands by email and is worked from first read to returned redline to standing playbook. Delegates run agentic tools for review, redlining and drafting at their own laptops, in accounts provisioned before they arrive. No client papers are used at any point.

Introduction
The premise of the programme and the matter before the room. No survey of the AI landscape.
15 min
I
Review of the counterparty draft
A counterparty MSA, received cold by email. Delegates conduct the review and produce an issues list, each issue cited to the clause it arises from. The citations are checked against the text.
45 min
II
Preparing the redline
Positions are settled. The markup is generated, refined through successive turns, and returned as a formatted instrument: numbering intact, cross-references sound, ready for the counterparty’s copy of Word.

Interval
Coffee. The sponsor’s acknowledgment is made here, and nowhere else in the programme.
15 min
III
Building the playbook
The morning’s positions are written into a standing playbook — preferred position, fallback, walk-away — and applied to a second counterparty draft. Work that took the first hour now takes minutes.
45 min
IV
Further capabilities
Demonstrated at pace, with delegates following at their own machines: analysis across a set of related documents, comparison of versions and of counterparty paper against precedent, and formatting repair on a damaged document.

Closing session
Professional safeguards: the audit trail, citation of sources, and the treatment of privileged and confidential material. The terms of the credit arrangement, and next steps for teams that wish to take the tool into practice.

The room
Both founders teach every edition, and both are in the room for all of it. Seating is at working tables, not theatre rows.
The programme does not include lectures on negotiation theory, instruction in prompting, or certificates.
Forty seats in each city. The list closes three days before the room opens.
