Mediation Profile

I come from a family which is closely connected to the community and society at
large. People in my neighbourhood used come to my grandfather and father to get their
disputes resolved and they have been fairly resolved. I find that those dispute
resolutions have been effective than the regular adversarial methods. Even though my
father and I are Lawyers by profession we believed these simple, cost, effective and quick
resolutions of disputes have saved many lives, property and brought happiness in people
in distress. I always wanted to be more than just a Lawyer.
I find mediation can bring about a change not only in the lives of the disputants but
also in the society. A speedy, effective, desired resolution to the dispute brings in change
and a new life to the disputants.
