Kennedys Negotiation

Structure trust. Govern behavior. Protect legacy with negotiation discipline.

Family Office Negotiation Strategy

We help executive teams govern complex commercial negotiations where exposure is long-cycle, reputational, and structurally hard to unwind.

It’s about behavior, inheritance, authority, and the consequences of assumed trust.
In family offices, negotiation is never just about economics.

Design the Trust Structure

We map behavioral risk where legacy, governance, and emotion overlap.

Preparation

We build fallback logic and conditional trade paths before exposure becomes drift.

Control the Relationship System

We align internal voices across family members, legal advisors, investment stewards, and external partners.

Management

We simulate divergence: succession uncertainty, capital asymmetry, and emotional inflection points.

Protect Decision Integrity

We brief family principals and advisors ahead of sensitive moments—shaping tone, roles, and behavioral posture.

Engagement

We help frame conditional agreements with control logic, exit pathways, and authority protection.
Why we're different
We’ve lived what we advise. Negotiating inside a family structure taught us this: trust isn’t assumed — it’s structured, protected, and behaviorally governed
Family Office Negotiation Strategy

Structure trust. Govern behavior. Protect legacy with negotiation discipline.

Trust is not belief—it’s structured behavior under conditions of power, risk, and time

Select a view:

We work discreetly with family offices to protect structure, authority, and behavioral discipline:

  1. Structure trust into fallback logic—not vague alignment
  2. Prevent missteps by governing behavior, not improvising tone
  3. Manage emotional exposure before it erodes credibility
  4. Build conditional governance into succession, asset allocation, and external engagement

Confidentiality Note:


All diagnostics, negotiation reviews, and engagement design are conducted under strict client confidentiality. We do not disclose client names, negotiation strategies, or behavioral assessments before, during, or after engagements.

We’re a family business ourselves. That’s why we don’t treat negotiation as a skillset — we treat it as a risk to govern, and a legacy to protect
