leveraging past dealings in order extract concessions

"Leverage" is a negotiation term meaning "the power to influence people and get the results you want."

A "concession" is "something that is allowed or given up, often in order to end a disagreement, or the act of allowing or giving this."

I believe that these terms used together make a clearer and more formal translation of the original Japanese text.

Note that the word "extract" may have slightly negative connotations, similar to the word "extort."
Example sentence:

Party A is leveraging past negotiations in order to extract concessions from Party B.
