“Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.”
— Carrie Fisher, Author and Actress (Princess Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy)
I have worked many years as a labor-relations lawyer and I am a negotiator, administrator, problem-solver and teacher with a diverse portfolio. With a Harvard Law degree and more than 25 years experience, I can provide the highest quality negotiation, contract and workplace advice and assistance, as well as pre-packaged or tailored training for you or your staff, without the big-firm mark-up. I have taught at Rutgers University and currently teach for the Scheinman Institute at Cornell University. I provide direct services, counsel and advice to organizations small and large, as well as to individuals.
“I have learned a great deal from Debra Osofsky about negotiations, dispute resolution and contract language writing while working directly with her over ten years while I was an MEC Chairman with the Airline Pilots Association. One of the results of her expert tutelage was a valuable and durable contract with Allegheny Airlines that produced only one contract dispute over a five-year period. I have no doubt that any any person in need of contract negotiating advice or assistance, and any student willing to learn, will benefit from the expertise Debra offers.”
