One party to a case Shirish mediated commented “Shirish was extremely effective as a mediator. He came across as a competent, resilient and a knowledgeable professional.” ”He remained undaunted in the face of the occasional emotional outbursts of the parties.”  He’s also been described as “a master mediator,” “highly skilled,” “empathetic without losing efficiency,” “professional but relaxed,” and “unbiased.” Another said, “On the eve of trial, the parties remained substantially apart.  Mr. Gupta demonstrated patience in helping both sides understand not only the strengths, but also the weaknesses in their respective positions.”
