Legal mediation services: Involve the use of a neutral third party to help resolve disputes between two or more parties. We help the parties to
communicate and negotiate with each other in an attempt to reach a mutually acceptable resolution to their conflict. This can be a quicker and less expensive alternative to going to court, and may be used in a wide variety of legal disputes, including family law, contract disputes, and workplace disputes. We facilitate communication and help the parties identify areas of agreement and disagreement. They may offer suggestions for possible solutions, but they do not make decisions for the parties. Instead, any agreements reached are made by the parties themselves. Mediation can have many benefits over traditional legal proceedings, including greater control over the outcome, reduced costs and time spent on legal proceedings, and the opportunity to preserve ongoing relationships. However, it is important to note that mediation is not always appropriate for every situation, and in some cases, legal action may still be necessary.
Arbitration services : Involve the use of a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator, to help resolve legal disputes between two or more parties. The parties agree to submit their dispute to the arbitrator, who makes a binding decision on the matter. This decision is legally enforceable, and the parties agree to abide by it. Our Firm provides for drafting of arbitration agreements representing clients in statutory and contractual arbitration proceedings according to the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 and other international arbitration legislations including the ICC rules, LCIA and SIAC rules. Arbitration is often used as an alternative to traditional litigation in court,
particularly in cases involving complex legal issues or where the parties wish to avoid the time and expense associated with court proceedings. It may be used in a wide variety of legal disputes, including commercial disputes, construction disputes, and employment disputes. Arbitration can have many benefits over traditional legal proceedings, including greater privacy, flexibility in scheduling, and the opportunity to choose an arbitrator with expertise in the subject matter of the dispute.
Litigation services: Involve legal representation and advocacy in court proceedings to resolve disputes between parties.
