Appoint MSJ as Mediator
Strategic. Facilitative. Equative.
His specialized expertise as a mediator spans complex construction mediations involving FIDIC and other international contract frameworks, where he regularly resolves multi-million dollar claims related to delays, defects, and payment disputes in mediation.
In commercial disputes, Sheraz mediates high-value conflicts involving joint ventures, supply chain breakdowns, and breach of contract cases, bringing particular insight into manufacturing, technology, and cross-border trade issues.
His real estate mediation practice covers contentious property development agreements, landlord-tenant conflicts, and complex valuation disputes, while in partnership dissolutions he navigates emotionally charged ownership battles with a unique balance of financial acumen and psychological insight.

Deep Insight. Durable Outcomes.
What truly sets Sheraz apart is his dual mastery of technical-contractual complexity and emotional intelligence. In construction mediations, he simultaneously interprets intricate delay analyses while managing human dynamics among frustrated project teams.
