Pioneering a tool for resolution and change

At 218 Strand, we operate world-class mediation and arbitration facilities, hosting the leading charity, The Society of Mediators, and a number of chambers, such as Normanton Chambers. Made up of a panel of fully-accredited mediators, the Society of Mediators are a registered charity set out to increase the availability and raise the awareness of mediation as a practice. We believe that mediation offers a new approach to resolving disputes, difficulties, and conflict, which plays a vital role in civil and criminal justice, and is a major tool for beneficial change. We therefore established the Free Mediation Project to offer public education and provide skills to the legal professionals of the future.

Our training courses are available for law students, law firms, and even the general public wishing to learn more, and the accreditation gained is recognised worldwide by the Civil Mediation Council, the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, and more. We work with gold-plated organisations, including the NHS, The Bar Council, and Kings' College London, to name a few, and ensure that we deliver the highest standard of education as our panel of mediators are active practitioners and have worked internationally and diversely. Their services are available via our pilot scheme at fair prices.

At the moment, we are ideally located by the Royal Courts of Justice in London. However, the opportunity to replicate the model has arisen in the South West: with the funds raised, we intend to take a long lease within the county town’s most prestigious business address and there establish the South West’s first mediation, arbitration, and dispute resolution centre. This will also provide a base for barristers’ chambers, the Society’s western outreach, and of course further training. The lease is available to commence on 1st June 2019 and the fit out will then take place. The work will be conducted under the direction of leading mediation figure and founder of both the Civil Mediation Council and the Society, barrister Jonathan Dingle FRSA.
