Negotiation Workshop:
For Borrowers and Insolvency Practitioners

For Borrowers and Insolvency Practitioners
The survival of an organisation is often dependent on the ability of its management and/or the insolvency practitioner to negotiate viable solutions to its loan obligations.
This coaching-style workshop identifies and puts into practice collaborative, interest-based negotiation techniques which are designed to safeguard the interests of the borrower, whilst engaging the lender in a viable solution. The workshop is packed with practical techniques perfected and exercised daily by negotiation professionals working in financing and restructuring environments. Each technique is presented with what to say, when and how to say it, and why. The techniques are incisive but engage the lender positively and constructively whilst maximising your leverage.
Participants will benefit from putting these techniques into practice through a series of very instructive role-plays. The trainer will coach participants to give valuable experience of putting the learned negotiation techniques into use.

Instructor: Mr Alexis Kyprianou

Alexis is an expert in negotiation who has devoted a significant part of his 25 year career to restructuring asset portfolios and related financing for large multinational companies. His experience has been acquired in difficult operating environments: he negotiated the sale of numerous assets in the British Telecom group following the dotcom bubble burst. He was part of the team that restructured one of Europe’s largest ever corporate failures at Vivendi Universal through a €20 billion asset sale and refinancing programme under the control of the creditor banks. More recently, Alexis was responsible for renegotiating many of the Danone partnerships and their financing structures, following the global liquidity crisis of 2008/9. He has held a significant CFO role and had held several board directorships overseeing key financing issues.
Since 2010, Alexis established himself as an expert advisor and trainer in negotiation techniques, notably to business development professionals in large multinational organisations across Europe.
He currently has mandates for training lenders (and their advisors), such as Dexia Bank and the Luxembourg Sovereign Fund which has been set up as a bank financing companies of national strategic interest in Luxembourg. Alexis has recently trained board directors of the Cooperative Banking System in Cyprus and through this training dealt with all issues relating to non-performing loans and the necessity to rebuild trust amongst its customers in the current Cypriot economic climate.
