contract negotiations
Terms under discussion
Contract negotiations are discussions between parties aimed at reaching a formal agreement, typically involving terms of employment, business deals, or services.
The phrase implies back-and-forth bargaining over specific provisions—compensation, deadlines, obligations, exit clauses: Contract negotiations stalled over salary demands.
In labor contexts, contract negotiations often involve unions and management hammering out collective agreements.
