Well... you can stash away some Potions of Clarity for the fight, or start casting Chaotic Commands on your party when you see them coming. However, the best defence, is a good offense. That is, prevent their Mage from casting spells by pounding on him, at least enough to disrupt his spellcasting.
Do you have any Druids in your party( ADD] Wait... I just realised this is a stupid question. You need to have Jaheira to have this scenerio anyway. Doh!)? If you do, is he/she level 10+? If yes, hallejuah, because you can cast Insect Plague, which will render their spellcasting useless for six rounds. Even if your Druid is low level, you can still try casting Insect Swarm, or get a Cleric to cast Miscast Magic.
Note: These spells are area-of-effect spells, so it is not necessary to cast it directly on the enemy Mage. In fact, it is more wise not to, because Mages usually have all kinds of whacked-up protection spells that protect from direct targeting, but not indirect targeting. So just cast the spells on a person near the Mage.
Other protection spells include Chant, which improves your saving throws for one turn.
Good luck, and have fun.
PS: Who is in your party?
