Tonkon Torp litigator Danny Newman is teaching a negotiations class for Lewis & Clark Law School as an adjunct professor for the 2024-2025 school year. The class introduces the theory and practice of negotiation in a workshop setting. Students will examine the basic stages of, and the major tensions at play in, negotiation; distributive bargaining, value-creating, and problem-solving techniques; managing communication and emotional elements in negotiation; power dynamics and ethics; and other topics as time allows. The course is designed to help students develop negotiating skills and a framework for ongoing self-learning through role-playing simulations, discussion, reading assignments, and regular journal and writing exercises.
Danny’s previous teaching experience includes co-teaching negotiation seminars at Gonzaga Law and at South Texas College of Law Houston.
Danny Newman is a partner in Tonkon Torp’s Litigation Department, where he focuses his work in bankruptcy, reorganization, and insolvency and serves as Co-Chair of the Government Law & Disputes Practice Group.
