Mediation and ADR

Blackstone Chambers has considerable experience in mediation and ADR. Chambers has a growing mediation practice and a number of members are now qualified mediators, having undertaken the full CEDR training course, and are now regularly appointed to act as mediators directly, as well as through CEDR, ACI and other service providers.

The growth of Chambers’ mediation practice is best evidenced by the arrivals of both Lord Woolf, the former Lord Chief Justice and Sir David Edward KCMG QC, the former British judge at the European Court of Justice. The arrival of these two leading figures has added considerable weight to the already distinguished mediation team, spearheaded by former head of Chambers Charles Flint QC, as well as Robert Englehart QC. 

Work undertaken includes mediating complex commercial cases, employment, insurance, banking and financial services, shareholder claims, professional negligence and mediations involving Government departments.
