Both the parties of the process have to be aware of the legal rights of each other so that when
dealing they do not violate the legal rights and give the other party a right to make a claim
against the breach

The parties to the negotiation have to analyze the way in which the other party comes to a
decision if they do it before hand they would be able to tackle the question of the other party in
the negotiation effectively.
