We are delighted to announce that Bill Marsh of Independent Mediators has been awarded Mediator of the Year 2024 by Lexology Index.

This is the fifth time that Bill has received this global award and 2024 marks the third consecutive year. For over thirty years Bill has been at the forefront of resolving complex conflicts and disputes, and conducted thousands of mediations, with governments, businesses, organisations, pressure groups, factions, and individuals from many parts of the world. This global award is a magnificent achievement and cements Bill’s position as one of the leading mediators in Europe.

Lexology Index (the new name for Who’s Who Legal following their rebrand and name change) present awards to the individuals and firms that have performed exceptionally well in their research. After an in-depth assessment of their findings, they identify a lawyer and a firm of the year in each of their featured practice areas. They also announce awards for the leading firms in over 70 jurisdictions.

The 2024 awards were presented at a gala awards ceremony at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London, on 7 November 2024, attended by over 200 of the world’s leading lawyers and consulting experts. (Bill Marsh photographed receiving his award with Independent Mediators CEO Nicky Doble).
