Settlement Agreements

Resolving disputes with finality, strategy, and enforceability.

A well-crafted settlement agreement can bring closure to a costly dispute, preserve valuable relationships, and avoid the uncertainties of litigation or arbitration. Mian Sheraz Javaid advises clients on settlement agreements that are clear, enforceable, and strategically aligned with long-term interests. With MSJ, resolution doesn’t just end a dispute—it protects your future.

Enforceability-First Drafting

Agreements are drafted to stand up in court, arbitration, or cross-border enforcement—ensuring lasting peace, not future conflict.

Strategic Settlement Timing

MSJ helps clients determine the right time and terms to settle—avoiding premature concessions or missed leverage.

Comprehensive Clause Coverage

From confidentiality and non-disparagement to indemnities and release of liability, every clause is aligned with commercial goals.

MSJ brings in-depth expertise to the negotiation and drafting of settlement agreements across commercial, infrastructure, and multi-party disputes. His work emphasizes enforceability—ensuring the agreement holds up under domestic or international legal frameworks. Whether resolving litigation, arbitration, or informal disputes, MSJ crafts settlements that deliver legal clarity and commercial certainty.

Settlement agreements go far beyond payment terms. MSJ incorporates provisions for confidentiality, performance guarantees, mutual release, and future dispute prevention. He advises clients on the optimal structure and sequencing of settlement, often navigating complex issues such as jurisdictional overlap, tax implications, and enforcement in multiple legal systems.

With experience advising both sides—claimants and respondents—MSJ understands leverage and risk. He guides clients on when to settle, how to position themselves during negotiation, and how to avoid terms that could trigger future exposure. Whether in court-ordered, arbitration-linked, or private settlements, his focus is always long-term resolution.
