M. Danish Shah
H.B.A, LL.B, Q.Arb
Mediator
Is a licensed lawyer in the province of Saskatchewan and has been practising law for more than a decade. He has appeared in Provincial Court, King’s Bench, Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, Federal Court, Federal Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada.
Given his experience, he is aware of how taxing litigation can be on individuals mentally, emotionally, and financially. To provide an alternative, he supplemented his legal training by obtaining mediation training at Harvard Law School, a program also attended by Canadian Judges.
Danish only provides mediation services in Ontario to provide an alternative to litigation in employment and family law matters and to allow parties to take control of the process and the outcome.
Danish believes that mediation at its core is two parties that agree to have a conversation, regardless of how difficult the subject matter or the conversation may be.
He can be reached at danish@butzlaw.ca, or by phone at 416-425-0233.
