Mediation is a structured and confidential process in which a neutral third party (the mediator) assists disputing parties in reaching a voluntary, mutually agreeable resolution. It offers a time-efficient, cost-effective, and less adversarial alternative to litigation. Mediation preserves relationships, promotes constructive communication, and allows for more creative solutions that might not be available through traditional court proceedings.
Legal disputes of any kind can be incredibly complicated, and if you are in the midst of a disagreement, a mutually beneficial resolution may seem impossible. You could even feel that your only option is a long court case. While at our Chambers, we do provide strong representations and submissions to protect the interest of our clients, we feel that whenever there is an ongoing relationship, using litigation to fight the other side is not always the best choice.
We know that litigation is not always the answer and believe that the term ADR should not only imply alternative dispute resolution but Appropriate Dispute Resolution. One such manner of conflict resolution is Mediation. It is a flexible and confidential process used to resolve disputes between two or more people, businesses or organisations. Mediation is recognised under various laws in India including the Civil Procedure Code, the Consumer Protection Act and the Commercial Courts Act, amongst others. Moreover, it can be one of the methods of dispute resolution incorporated in a commercial contract. Mediation is preferred worldwide for its speed, affordability and neutrality.

Our mission is to provide a safe, neutral, and respectful environment for individuals and groups to resolve conflicts and find mutually beneficial solutions.

Ultimately, informed consent and choice is the bedrock of everything we do.
Benefits of Mediation
A mediated resolution may come with many potential benefits when compared to other dispute resolution methods, including:
- Cost: Mediation services are not cost-free, but using mediation can help you avoid many court costs and expensive advocates and court fees that may accrue over the course of protracted litigation.
- Efficiency: Through mediation, a resolution may be possible within only a few productive sessions. You may also save time by avoiding the wait for scheduled court dates.
- Control: In a mediated resolution, you and the other party, not a judge or jury, are ultimately responsible for all final decisions. Mediation also makes possible a wider range of solutions, rather than just the specific remedies available in civil court.
- Privacy: Court cases are a matter of public record, and they can become highly publicized. Mediation, on the other hand, happens in private, with all discussions remaining between the two parties and the mediator.
- Maintenance of Relationship: When you work out a dispute through mediation rather than adversarial litigation, you may be able to maintain a more positive long-term relationship with the other party.
