Private Mediation - continuing 

Style & Approach

I try to help the parties find common ground using principles of collaborative, mutual-gains negotiation. Though mediation processes are all alike, but in fact, all mediators follow different approaches depending on the type of conflict they are dealing with. So do I; considering the various styles and types of mediation that are available to help resolve conflict.
Mediation is facilitative negotiation; and I attempt to facilitate negotiation between the parties in conflict.

Rather than making recommendations or imposing a decision, I encourage disputants to reach their own voluntary solution by exploring each other’s deeper interests - keeping my own views regarding the conflict hidden and aside.
In absence of a stand-alone Mediation Statute here in India at present, for the purpose of ensuring enforceability in private pre-litigation Mediations; I switch to Conciliation as mandated in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 which in fact is evaluative mediation where more likely I make recommendations and suggestions and to express opinions in presence of parties’ counsels thereby helping parties assess the legal merits of their cases. Lawyers play a great role in this.


Client Feedback

I have been doing mediations under aegis of Delhi High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre since 2011 but they do not have any provision of keeping record of feedback from clients. So, despite completing more than 100 pre-litigation mediations successfully, I have no feedback record with me.
So far as your suggestion about short endorsements from people who have used me as a mediator - these can be obtained henceforth.
