Analysis and Process
Our report process was designed by legal and compliance professionals to deliver the level of due diligence that they would be comfortable relying upon to mitigate risk.
A key element of this is that of risk analysis and assessment. After our research and investigation teams have completed their phases of the report, the materials undergo review by our legal analysts who apply a critical eye to the information that has been compiled to identify and address any compliance issues uncovered.
All our reports are complied according to a strict quality-control programme to ensure consistency in look, feel, content and quality.

Project Delivery
Our experts have years of experience in delivering real estate related projects to the market and over the years and through academic research we have found the major cause for delays in delivery of projects is the lack of team collaboration, finding the right experts on time and ineffective communication throughout the process.
This can lead to projects either being delayed, costs escalating and quite often projects either running over time or not completing at all.
Often each expert works in isolation of the other to achieve their goals without any real knowledge of the overall picture or keeping to the end users business goals.
Projects are often delivered without any real measurement of timelines leading to wasted costs. There is often a lack of due diligence throughout the process leading to unanticipated delays, projects not going ahead on time, possible litigation and failure of projects.
Devatas International provides an innovative way to deliver real estate projects using legal methodology to measure each stage of the process to ensure maximum return on your investment.
We work with multinational organisations, mid-sized companies, or small start-up entities to provide a strategic roadmap for the growth of your business and then deliver your project using quality experts under our bespoke project delivery system
Mediation
Mediation is an alternative way of resolving disputes without lengthy and expensive legal proceedings this method works because it helps the parties to resolve even the most difficult disputes in a practical way. It deals with their real interests and needs without the risks and costs of further court proceedings, and enables the parties to achieve their own solution without an imposed decision.
The outcome of mediation is always within the control of the parties and with the help of the mediator they decide for themselves upon a settlement they can live with.
Mediation is a guided negotiation, helping the parties to communicate with each other, exploring the issues which are of real importance to them, which often differ from their ‘rights’. The parties are encouraged to find ways to address their present and future needs, rather than dwelling upon who may have been right or wrong in the past.
Parties in mediation avoid the uncertainty and dissatisfaction often experienced in court or at arbitration where they have little choice but to accept the judgment made, which none of them may be happy with.
Benefits of using mediation instead of traditional court processes: -
- Everything said at the mediation is entirely confidential to the parties (unless specifically agreed otherwise) unlike the potential publicity of court proceedings.
- The mediation process is ’without prejudice’, so that on the rare occasion that a settlement is not reached litigation may continue without the parties needing to worry about having ‘given away’ anything that the other could use in court.
- Mediation works in some 90% of commercial disputes. A settlement is usually reached on the day, or within a few days of the mediation meeting
- The mediation is arranged at a venue convenient to the parties, who each have their own room as well as a separate room for joint meetings. The Mediator listens to everyone’s point of view, talks to the parties privately and together, guiding them towards a settlement.
- The mediation can take place at any time and it is not limited to ordinary working days or hours. If it suits the parties to negotiate over a weekend, then that’s when it happens.
We engage the best mediators from different disciplines, so we can find the right person in the right place to help resolve your dispute.
