Personal bio

Overview In the past seven years, I've gained substantial experience in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), handling various cases across different market domains, including Contracting and Consultancy. This work involved various ADR techniques to resolve disputes in corporate environments. Experience Mediation: I've conducted numerous mediation sessions, especially in commercial and civil disputes. A key case involved a contractual dispute between a Contracting company and a Client under Project Consultancy, focusing on breach of terms, delay penalties, and Prolongation Costs. As the primary mediator, I facilitated communication between parties, leading to a mutually beneficial settlement that saved litigation costs and preserved their business relationship. Arbitration: My experience extends to arbitration, where I've acted as a neutral arbitrator in consumer disputes. In a notable case, I handled a consumer complaint against a Supplier for contract breach under a Supplier Agreement and PPP Contract with the End-User. The arbitration process was impartial, resulting in a fair resolution that respected established guidelines. Negotiation: I've effectively resolved conflicts in corporate settings through negotiation, utilizing skills such as: Contractual Proficiency: Developing a deep understanding of contract law has enabled me to draft effective agreements, focusing on detail and strategic negotiation. Negotiation Command: I've honed negotiation skills to secure favorable terms and efficiently resolve disputes, balancing assertiveness, empathy, and creativity. Communication and Relationship Building: My ability to build trust and cooperate even in disagreements, using clear, persuasive communication, has been crucial in resolving disputes. Adaptability and Innovation: I adapt to changing legal and industry standards, embracing innovative methods for more efficient negotiation. Conclusion: My diverse experience in both litigation and ADR demonstrates a deep understanding of dispute resolution principles and practices outside the courtroom. My work in mediation, arbitration, and negotiation consistently aims to achieve fair and efficient resolutions, highlighting the value of ADR in reaching mutually acceptable outcomes.
