Independent Mediators is neither another mediation provider nor a mediator panel but operates like a barristers’ chambers. It offers a unique way of making the services of experienced

independent mediators available to clients. The mediators are self-employed and independent, and share a central service to administer all their mediations, offering clients the advantages of:

• A single contact point for all ten mediators, no need to call each mediator separately;

• Instant diary availability and mediation bookings;

• Harmonised referral systems, documentation and fees with complete transparency on all fees and arrangements;

• Availability of first-class cover from other leading mediators if a specified mediator is not available. Independent Mediators is exclusively for nationally recognised leading mediators;

Our mediators travel all over the UK and internationally for mediations as well as mediating via video conference. We will also be pleased to provide a spokesperson on any mediation related topics and take part in mediation seminars and lectures, nationally, internationally and online.
