Mediation
Disputes in construction and engineering projects don’t always need to end in arbitration or litigation. In fact, many can be resolved more effectively through mediation—a non-adversarial process that promotes collaboration, confidentiality, and control.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential dispute resolution process in which a neutral third-party facilitator (the mediator) assists the parties in reaching a mutually acceptable settlement. Unlike arbitration or adjudication, the mediator does not impose a decision—the outcome is controlled entirely by the parties.
It is particularly suited to disputes involving:
- Ongoing project relationships between contractor and employer
- Multiple stakeholders or joint venture complexities
- Scope and valuation disagreements
- Delays, disruption, or cost-related claims
- Interpersonal or team-based breakdowns in communication
Mediation is recognized and supported by most major contract frameworks, including FIDIC and NEC, and is increasingly encouraged by courts and arbitral institutions worldwide.
What We Do
At MASIN, we support clients in achieving negotiated settlements through structured mediation services, led by professionals who understand both the technical complexity and contractual nuances of high-value infrastructure and construction projects.
Whether appointed as independent mediators or advising a party through the mediation process, we bring a solution-oriented mindset, helping stakeholders preserve relationships and avoid prolonged, costly dispute resolution.

- Independent mediators with technical and commercial expertise
- Advisory support for parties participating in mediation
- Preparation and strategy consulting prior to mediation sessions
- Technical input and analysis to inform negotiations
