Arbitration & ADR Strategy

Engineered dispute resolution strategies that anticipate conflict and protect value.

Disputes are inevitable. Mismanaged disputes are not. Mian Sheraz Javaid crafts bespoke dispute resolution strategies that are efficient, enforceable, and aligned with his client’s commercial priorities. His approach is rooted in the belief that effective dispute resolution begins long before a notice is served—and that strategy must be built into the contract, not retrofitted during crisis.

Proactive Risk Management

Strategies engineered to prevent disputes before they escalate, preserving relationships and protecting value.

Tailored Forum Selection

Selecting ICC, LCIA, SIAC, DIAC, or Ad hoc forums based on jurisdiction, efficiency, and enforceability.

End-to-End Support

From clause drafting to final award enforcement, providing clarity and control throughout the process.

MSJ begins by reviewing or drafting dispute resolution clauses with precision, ensuring procedural clarity, jurisdictional enforceability, and alignment with the project’s risk profile. His insight extends to selecting the optimal forum—whether ICC, LCIA, SIAC, DIAC, or Ad hoc—based on the dispute’s nature, location, and cost-benefit dynamics. He also advises on mediation, adjudication, and early neutral evaluation to offer clients a full spectrum of alternatives before entering arbitration or litigation.

Each strategy is designed to preserve commercial relationships while securing legal advantage. MSJ leverages proprietary tools including Tiered Dispute Resolution Flowcharts that map escalation pathways, Arbitrator Selection Playbooks that weigh qualifications and conflict risks, and Cost-Benefit Models to help clients assess strategic options at every stage of the dispute lifecycle.
