High-Stakes B2B Negotiation
In metals, minerals, and heavy manufacturing, a single agreement can decide the next decade of a company's economics: an offtake contract, a major equipment purchase, a joint venture, a long-term supply deal. These deals are large, slow, and hard to reverse. We prepare you, advise you, and where needed represent you, so you reach the table with leverage and leave with terms that hold up in practice.
Win the deal without losing the relationship.
Commercial negotiations in this sector involve long-term commitments, complex pricing mechanisms, and counterparties who negotiate for a living. Many deals are lost before the first meeting, through weak preparation, unclear priorities, or a poor read of the other side's position. We fix that first.
Where we help:- Supply, offtake, and distribution agreements
- Major equipment and technology purchase contracts
- Joint ventures, partnerships, and strategic alliances
- Mergers, acquisitions, and asset deals
- Pricing formulas, volume commitments, quality and delivery terms, and penalty structures

What you receive: A negotiation strategy, a clear view of your leverage and walk-away position, and agreed terms that protect your margins and your operations.
How We Work

Negotiate. We advise in real time, at the table or behind the scenes. You choose the level of involvement, from coaching your team to leading the negotiation on your behalf.
Close and protect. We structure the final terms, review risk allocation, and make sure what is signed can actually be delivered and enforced.
