Talk, Discussion

"The firm is in talk with city officials on a new contract."

"The firm is in talks with city officials on a new contract."

"The firm is in discussion with city officials on a new contract."

"The firm is in discussions with city officials on a new contract."

It seems that both count/uncount versions of "talk" and "discussion" are valid here.
