negotiation team
Deal-making delegation
A negotiation team is a group of people who collectively represent one side in negotiations.
The team approach allows for division of labor—one member might handle technical details while another manages relationship dynamics.
Organizations use negotiation teams for complex deals where no single person has all the necessary expertise: The union sent a five-person negotiation team to meet with management.
