Independent Mediators are very proud to announce that all ten of our members have been listed in the top tiers of the mediators section in the new edition of Chambers and Partners released in October 2024. This is a tremendous achievement for all.
We are delighted with the rankings and are extremely grateful to all our instructing solicitors and clients for their support in helping us to both achieve and maintain them.
