Negotiation and Mediation
Negotiation and mediation are two topics that are best handled with the guidance of an attorney. Nobody wants to come off cold-hearted, greedy, or aggressive and with this reservation comes the possibility of being walked all over.
Having an attorney representing you during these processes ensures that you will be able to work out a deal that both parties are happy with without having to worry about whether or not you got less than you deserve or pressed for too much. Let Farshad be the shield between you and those who would see you leave the table accepting scraps and calling it a success.
Contract Review
As a high-profile individual, most of the work you do comes with some sort of contract that binds you to completing certain tasks or restricting you from engaging in certain activities. Farshad is extremely proficient at looking through sports and entertainment contracts to make sure that you fully understand all features of the contract you are about to sign.
Arbitration
Most of the time, when the media spotlight is shining brightly upon your head, the last thing you want to do is walk into a public courtroom to plead your case. Not only does this cast negative media attention in your direction, but it also can affect the opportunities you may have in the future.
A common practice for high-profile individuals such as yourself is to seek pre-litigation services such as arbitration. During arbitration, a neutral party is selected to act as a judge in deciding the outcome of a dispute between two entities.
The difference between negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, which are all pre-litigation tactics, is that the latter is legally binding. The decision made by the arbiter regarding the dispute at hand is considered to be the same as one handed down by a judge in court, it just happens to be done behind closed doors.
Whereas the decisions that are made in negotiation and mediation can be deviated from with minimal legal repercussion. Typically, when this happens, the consequences simply involve whatever parameters for breach of contract being enacted.
