Settingstone
Counterparty — The Negotiation Gym
By Stephen Brownell
Scenario 001 · Beta

The Credit Call.

A negotiation gym for energy lawyers. Read your briefing, pick your counterparty, and play three rounds. At the end you get a graded scorecard — and the Veteran's Note on what a 40-year GC would have done at your seat. Everything is fictional; nothing you type is stored.

The Situation

Your Constraints (keep them close)

    Terms in Play

    Choose Your Counterparty

    Counterparty is a training simulation with entirely fictional facts, parties, and numbers. It is not legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by playing. Your messages are sent to Settingstone's negotiation service to generate replies and your scorecard, are not stored, and should never include real client or confidential information.

      The Veteran's Note

      Written by an AI briefed by Stephen Brownell on forty years at these tables.

      New scenarios land here first.

      Every scenario so far was written because someone asked. One email when the next one lands — nothing else.

      This scorecard is generated by a training simulation on fictional facts and is not legal advice or an evaluation of professional competence. No attorney-client relationship is formed. Built and maintained by Settingstone Legal — the operational tool chest for energy attorneys.
