Podcast Episode 81. Negotiation in Divorce: A Live Conversation at Mississippi College School of Law

This episode of the R+E podcast is something special: we are bringing you a live recording from a presentation Craig Robertson and Matt Easterling gave at Mississippi College School of Law for Professor Chris Dunnell’s negotiation class, focused on resolving disputes in divorce.

In family law, negotiation isn’t just about legal arguments — it’s about people. It’s about families, and families are messy. Emotions run high, and when you’re rebuilding everything in life, the path forward can feel uncertain. For over 40 years combined, Craig and Matt have guided clients through tough conversations, helping them make hard decisions and find resolutions for the next chapter of their lives.

In this live talk, Craig and Matt share how they got started as attorneys, how they became partners, and break down the art and strategy of negotiation — with real-world stories, insights, and practical advice for the future lawyers in the room.

Whether you’re navigating a challenging family dynamic, studying law, practicing as an attorney, or just curious about the behind-the-scenes of divorce negotiations, this episode will give you a deeper look into what it takes to resolve family conflicts.
