Ian Stokes LL.B Barrister
As the founder of Pro-Negotiations, Ian Stokes has wide business experience beyond his background as a lawyer, having held senior director level commercial roles within UK based blue-chip plc organisations.
During the last 30 years, Ian has been involved in the negotiation of a wide variety of major commercial projects, ranging from process engineering, procurement and construction projects, multi-billion pound infrastructure privatisation projects, through to the sale and purchase of companies.
Building on an extensive international career, working in Europe, Scandinavia, Middle East, Far East, South Africa, USA, Mexico, Australia, India and Pakistan, Ian is now based at Pro-Negotiations offices in the beautiful market town of Stamford in Lincolnshire, UK.
Having attended Harvard Law School's "Program of Instruction for Lawyers – Negotiations Workshop" in the year 2000, Ian was inspired to start teaching negotiation skills, which led to his foundation of Pro-Negotiations in 2003, specialising in training and coaching professional people in negotiation skills, contract law and understanding commercial contracts.
In growing Pro-Negotiations through a gifted team of associates and having himself recently qualified as an accredited civil and commercial mediator, Ian is now intent on the continuous development of Pro-Negotiations’ ability to offer training, coaching, consulting and mediation services of the highest quality.
