Why Choose Mediation as a Business?
Over the last 20 years, mediation has become a leading alternative to litigation. It’s quicker, less expensive, and designed to preserve business relationships and reputations. Mediation is now seen as a first choice, not a last resort.
Mediation is typically faster and less expensive than court proceedings, allowing businesses to resolve issues promptly and allocate resources more efficiently. Furthermore, inlike public court cases, mediation sessions are private, safeguarding sensitive business information and helps to maintain and even strengthen professional relationships post-dispute.

The Resolution Revolution
We're on a mission to make mediation the go-to option for dispute resolution, and for Mediator Locator to be the go-to provider.
With over 30 years of legal experience gained while working as a lawyer, mediator and adjudicator, our founder, Stuart Lawrence, continues to be surprised that mediation remains underused.
With compelling virtues including being much quicker, more successful, cheaper, and much less stressful than other methods of dispute resolution, he decided to create Mediator Locator to promote mediation and make it more accessible.
Put simply, mediation makes perfect commercial sense and should be the default route for dispute resolution.
