Pooja Sundar is a highly skilled mediator and lawyer known for her calm, solutions‐focused approach to resolving even the most complex and emotionally charged matters. With years of experience navigating immigration, family, and tribunal‐level disputes, she brings deep insight into how conflict arises – and how it can be resolved with dignity, clarity, and care.

Pooja’s mediation style is shaped by her culturally informed practice, her extensive client‐facing work with communities from all over the world, and her ability to communicate across differences with empathy and precision. Her clients span diverse cultural, linguistic, and family backgrounds, and she is known for creating space where people feel heard, understood, and supported. Her work frequently involves complex negotiations with government departments, including Immigration New Zealand, where she communicates with case officers, senior immigration staff, and policy‐level decision makers in championing policy changes.

Pooja is also trusted by colleagues for her strategic judgment. She regularly guides clients through difficult crossroads—balancing legal, cultural, personal, and practical realities—while maintaining unwavering professionalism. Her mediation and negotiation abilities are strengthened by her background as a lawyer with over a decade of relevant experience, formal university level alternative dispute resolutions course, and a Master of Laws degree.

Whether she is helping resolve a dispute, facilitating conversations between families and agencies, or guiding clients through sensitive personal transitions, Pooja’s focus remains the same: to create clarity and stability in moments that feel overwhelming, and to support people toward outcomes that honour their values and futures.

Why Choose Mediation?

Faster, flexible, and cost‐effective

Mediation avoids the delays and expenses of court or formal proceedings. Sessions are tailored to your
situation and move at a pace that works for everyone.

Confidential and empowering

Conversations stay private. Parties retain control over their outcomes rather than having decisions
imposed from outside.

Preserves relationships

If relationship is ongoing—family, whānau, business partners, or colleagues—mediation
protects dignity and encourages healthier communication moving forward.

Everything was very transparent. We only contacted him over the phone and emails. He got the residents visa approval in the first go. It didn't get rejected or had to appeal like other lawyers said. Stewart knows exactly what he does. He doesn't panic. He a real expert. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to have their visas done peacefully at reasonable fees. Thank you Stewart and Dalley Sundar Law team. You guys rock
