From Ecosystem to Culture: Bridging the Implementation Gap in Pakistan’s Mediation Landscape

​This was the focus of a powerful and engaging discussion during Panel 2 at the AIPC (ADR ODR International x ICDRL) Launch Event in Islamabad.

​The session was masterfully moderated by Barrister Talha Ilyas Sheikh (Advocate Supreme Court of Pakistan), who set the tone by noting that while mediation is now firmly part of Pakistan's legal conversation, the real challenge lies in its systemic implementation.

​Our expert speakers offered a multi-faceted roadmap for bridging this gap. Sarah Tarar highlighted Pakistan's ADR progress, urging the government to lead by example with "mediation-first" contract clauses and continuous professional training. Rahim Shamji advocated for mandatory mediation, drawing on successful models from the UK, US, and Europe to push from awareness to action. Sohail Khoja focused on scalability, stressing the need for robust institutional safeguards and international competition exposure to build credible standards. Finally, Natalya Kamal addressed the local litigation culture, noting the hesitation among traditional lawyers and the critical need for stronger incentives to promote good-faith mediation.

​The session concluded with an interactive Q&A, sparking meaningful dialogue with an audience eager to see these reforms shape the future of justice in Pakistan.
