This semester, eight upper level students are participating in the school’s first International Oil and Gas Negotiations course, led by [Professor Guillermo J. Garcia Sanchez](https://law.tamu.edu/faculty-staff/find-people/faculty-profiles/guillermo-jose-garcia-sanchez). The course features an experiential component where students participate in mock negotiations with a parallel class being taught at Southern Methodist University by [Executive Professor Harry Sullivan](https://law.tamu.edu/faculty-staff/find-people/faculty-profiles/harry-w-sullivan-jr), who teaches at both law schools. In the class, students will learn the basics of international petroleum transactions, as well as how international oil companies draft contractual provisions, negotiate deals with governments, and adopt best practices in their operations. Also, this course provides hands-on, practical negotiation experience through a series of simulated exercises where students role-play as lawyers representing clients on different sides of an acquisition of oil and gas exploration rights in a foreign country.
