Mediation

Mediation is a growing field, and more and more barristers are undertaking the training so as to provide the best possible service. The Bar Council publishes a list of barristers trained in mediation as a handy reference for the public and for those working in this developing field. Barristers are skilled at rapidly assimilating information, evaluating the strengths and weaknesses, negotiating with the other side, discussing strategy with clients and advising on the likely outcome.

It is this range of skills that barristers bring to the task of mediation, and which, with their legal expertise, make them ideally placed to mediate any dispute. When you appoint a barrister as a mediator, you can expect the same high standards and intellectual rigour, which they will bring to the rest of their work at the Bar.

The range of experience embodied by barristers on this list will cover mediations on any subject matter, whether it is a commercial dispute, a family matter or a question of professional negligence. This year’s list includes barristers’ areas of specialisation, in order to assist you with your search for the right mediator. It also has an index or barristers by area of specialisation.



For the purpose of dividing the list into the four categories of experience, it includes only those mediations in which the barrister has acted as lead mediator.
