University of Georgia School of Law students Grace M. Craft (J.D. ’26) and Supreme Unukegwo (J.D. ’26) finished as quarterfinalists at the 2025 Transatlantic Negotiation Competition, hosted by Syracuse University College of Law and Queen’s University Belfast.

The TANC is an annual competition designed to simulate cross-border legal negotiations, and challenges the students to resolve realistic, complex scenarios involving international business, trade, and political disputes. This year’s competition featured thirty law schools from five continents, including participants from the United States, Brazil, India, Australia, and throughout Europe.

In each round, teams of two had one-hour sessions to collaboratively negotiate client outcomes, which were then evaluated by panels of renowned legal professionals from around the world. Competitors relied on strategy, teamwork, and persuasive communication across cultures. Craft and Unukegwo prepared for the competition under the guidance of Faculty Coach Daniel S. Serviansky.
