Mediation

Mehr And Iqbal Advocates And Legal Consultants helps parties resolve disputes amicably by acting as a neutral third-party mediator. In mediation, the parties are helped to reach a mutually acceptable decision, which serves to be non-binding on them. Due to the long-drawn and expensive nature of court proceedings, mediation can be a very strong option for parties to reach a settlement.

Many times, especially in family or commercial disputes, the opposing party is a part of your flesh and blood, a parent, a sibling, a child or a spouse. Due to this sensitive nature of the relationship, both parties may be disinclined to litigate in the courts, and or the matter can unnecessarily remain unresolved. So sometimes mediation is the best solution for such cases, since the mediator plays a proactive yet guiding role in the journey to the best possible outcome.

Mediation is a completely confidential procedure, and in the odd scenario where it fails and court proceedings are required, nothing said or disclosed within the mediation sessions, would be admissible in court. Mediation sessions are usually a combination of joint and private sessions, for the mediator to aid the parties as best as possible.

In many jurisdictions Alternative Dispute Resolution ('ADR') which includes mediation is becoming obligatory before heading to a court, since its nature is such that allows more innovative and flexible solutions, that may represent justice for the parties better. Mehr And Iqbal Advocates And Legal Consultants is well-positioned to handle disputes via mediation, and would recommend it as a first-step in some sensitive cases.
