Specialists accepted for listing are invited, but not required, to supply a professional biography and photograph, which are published upon payment of a fee.

We hope that you find this report useful and informative. If you do, it is due to the hundreds of people who helped us in the research, and we would like to sign off by thanking them for their kindness, helpfulness and insight, which made it a pleasure to be part of this undertaking.

Stuart Chapman Independent Mediators

Stuart has conducted more than 600 mediations since he began mediating in 2008, including more recently many online. He has been consistently recommended by the UK and international directories as a leader in the field of mediation. The legal directories say “He has a very good grasp of the issues and is easy to work with but tough when appropriate. I always find he understands very early on what each party is really looking for.” “He combines tenacity with a really calm manner, and somehow manages to coax people when they want to give up.”

Stuart enjoys mediating across the UK and internationally and has a very broad experience of parties and dispute types. He has mediated disputes involving parties from more than 20 jurisdictions.

Stuart’s background is in commercial dispute resolution and litigation. He qualified as a solicitor with Linklaters in 1991, where he worked until 1994. He was a partner and head of litigation in Leeds at Pinsent Masons from 1998 until 2008, when he left practice to become a full-time independent mediator.

As a litigation lawyer Stuart represented a diverse range of clients, national and international, in the UK courts, up to and including the Supreme Court and the Privy Council, in the European Court of Human Rights and the United Nations Human Rights Council, and in domestic and international arbitrations as well as in mediations and direct negotiations.

Stuart’s approach is essentially aimed at supporting high-quality decision-making. Sometimes this can involve empathic support, moving people into a more logical way of thinking; sometimes it can involve intellectual challenge, helping people to factor in that which they might have good arguments against but to which they should at least attach weight; sometimes equalising the information each party is considering is key.

Previously head of commercial litigation at CMS, Tim is now a full-time mediator with over 20 years’ experience. He has a reputation for resolving complex and bitter commercial disputes and keeping the parties focused on settlement in the most trying circumstances. A client states: “Through a combination of sheer force of will, rational argument and exceptional commercialism, he assisted the parties in engineering a settlement and bringing to an end one of the most difficult and unpleasant cases I have ever dealt with. I have mediated somewhere near 100 commercial disputes and Tim is by far the ‘standout’ mediator and I shall certainly be using him again in the future.”

Since lockdown Tim has continued to conduct a large number of mediations remotely, particularly for international parties, including supply chain disputes related to contracts for the supply of masks and lateral flow tests. Shareholders disputes were the single largest source of appointments in the past 12 months, accounting for 11 mediations, often involving a complete breakdown in relationships and a deadlocked board.

Mark Jackson-Stops IPOS Mediation

Mark Jackson-Stops has has mediated over 1,700 cases since the mid-1990s. He is recognised as “one of the great mediators in the country”. Two decades practising as a chartered surveyor from 1973 gave him an unsurpassable insight into certain specialist areas of expertise, including property development, investment and management, as well as tenant negotiations and valuations. However it has been the past 25 years spent in full-time mediation of commercial and family disagreements of every kind, that have really refined his legal acumen and the calm, confident style that’s so essential to successful dispute resolution and to gaining a reputation as “the best commercial dealmaker in the market”.

Mark is known for his ability to build relationships of trust speedily, and he can adapt his approach to the needs of different parties. His style is responsive and flexible, and ranges from the lightest of touch to a firm and directive approach when required. Both styles can be seamlessly employed in different rooms at different times on the same day.

Mark graduated from Oxford University and then qualified and practised as a chartered surveyor. He trained as a mediator in the UK with CEDR (by whom he was accredited) and in the USA. In 1995, he founded IPOS Mediation (formerly In Place of Strife), which is recognised as a leading provider of mediators in the UK and internationally.

Mark Jackson-Stops was the recipient of the Judges’ Award for Achievement in Mediation at the UK National Mediation Awards 2020. He was also named as a ‘Global Elite Thought Leader’ –Mediation – by Who’s Who Legal, 2021. He is a Fellow of the Civil Mediation Council.

Michel Kallipetis QC Independent Mediators

Failing my Greek AS level was a blow to my father but, as it turned out, was probably the start of a series of changes in my life that brought me to where I am now. My place to read Classics at KCL gave way to my joining the Exchequer & Audit Department (now the NAO) and a three-year day release course to qualify as an auditor. The wonderful Professor Clive Schmittoff who was my law tutor encouraged me after I qualified to read law and join Gray’s Inn as a student barrister. The Department gave me a sabbatical to take up a place at UCL and my bank manager lent me the money to pay the admission fees for Gray’s Inn. My tutor at UCL arranged pupillage for me in the Chambers of the late Sir Morris Finer QC with the late HH Brian Capstick QC, who taught me that compassion and law were bedfellows, and introduced me to the late HH David Croft QC for my second pupillage from whom I learned that cross-examination was a skilled art.

Between them and the other members of Chambers which included Alexander Irvine, later Lord Chancellor, Tony Blair and Cherie Booth the incomparable Sir Peter Pain and the legendary Michael Sherrard QC, I received a grounding in criminal, civil, family and employment law, court craft and client care, which carried me through my career in those Chambers of which I later became the head upon the appointment of my great friend Sir Michael Burton. In 2018, I received a silver Griffin to mark my 50 years call to the Bar.

In the late 1980s, I heard the late Philip Naughton QC talk about mediation. It was another seismic shift in my life. I invited CEDR to train a dozen of us in Chambers and I began my career as a mediator. In 2007, I left Chambers and founded Independent Mediators with my close friend and colleague Nicholas Pryor and then a few months later we were joined by Bill Marsh and Charles Dodson. We are now nine and effectively a real mediation chambers, but above all a group of friends and experienced colleagues on whom we

each call when the need arises. I was instructed by the ADR Group in Halsey v Milton Keynes, which gave an additional boost to mediation in general and lawyers’ professional obligation to advise on ADR in particular. My experience as a deputy judge for over twenty years, the last 15 of which as a High Court Judge in QB, Chancery and the TCC, and in the County Court before that, coupled with my practice at the Bar in commercial law, employment and professional negligence, equipped me with experience of a wide variety of disputes invaluable in my mediation practice, and, as a result, I am asked to mediate all civil and commercial disputes.

As chairman of the Bar ADR Committee, I was a member of the working party which drafted the European Code of Conduct for Mediators and subsequently I gave evidence to the EU Parliament prior to its adopting the EU Mediation Directive in 2013. The International Academy of Mediators invited me to become a Distinguished Fellow in 2009 and I was introduced to an academy of the leading mediators in the world. Their combined experience is millions of hours of mediation, mostly in North America, but with a significant membership outside. I have been elected President for the year 2021–22 with a mandate to enlarge the international membership and share their wealth of experience and knowledge with those countries now actively pursuing mediation as a preferred dispute resolution process. As IAM’s representative I was part of UNCITRAL’s WGII which drafted the Singapore Convention. Recently, the IAM jointly with the HKMC organised a symposium spread worldwide over five days, in five different time zones, with 32 speakers from 10 jurisdictions and over 900 participants. As President I hope to hold another to include South America, Africa, India and the Middle East.

Training mediators and lawyers in several jurisdictions is an important part of my professional life. I took part in the first ICC Mediation Competition 16 years ago, and it is hugely satisfying to see how it has been replicated all over

the world, while still attracting law students from every continent each year in Paris. To see a whole generation of lawyers learning that disputes can be resolved rather than won or lost gives me hope for our future.

Practising full-time for 30 years, he has mediated in almost every area of law and business, including significant experience in investor/state mediation. He mediates in the UK and internationally and has worked with parties from over 50 countries.

He is consistently ranked in the top tier of mediators in all the independent legal directories. He is described in legal directories as “one of the greats”; “right at the top of his game”; “a perfect example of how a talented mediator can overcome apparently insuperable obstacles”; “right at the top of the tree”; and “a sensational mediator” who “gets very high-profile work and is extremely experienced and capable”. He is also praised for his “absolute commitment” and “commercial flair”, and is deemed an “excellent shuttle diplomat”, with quoted sources adding that he is “extremely patient and hardworking, but pushes both sides’ positions very hard”.

A former corporate lawyer, Bill has also served as adviser on conflict and mediation to many governments (the UK, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia) and international bodies (the EU, the IFC/World Bank and the UN); and to the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Jane Player Independent Mediators

Jane is a well-known commercial mediator, based in the UK. Practising as a mediator for over 20 years and now with Independent Mediators she also mediates for institutions such as ICC, WIPO and SIMC. Jane has also recently been asked to join panels in Japan, Indonesia and India. A commercial and pragmatic mediator, Jane’s practice ranges from technology and media sectors to general commercial cases involving joint ventures, consortia and project disputes. Consistently ranked in all the legal directories, Jane was the winner of the Corporate Livewire 2015 Legal Award for Commercial Mediator of the Year – UK. Jane also won the International Law Office (ILO) Client Choice Award 2012 in the litigation category for the UK. She has also ranked in the “Top 50 Mediators” in the UK.

Jane is particularly recommended for mediations where there are strong personalities and where there may be some cynicism towards resolution through mediation. She has an “engaging style” and is “clearly committed”. Users praised her for her “proactive approach” and “people skills”.

Comments include: “Jane gets stuck in and is easy to work with. She was a lawyer for many years so understands the litigation risks at play but she uses the right mix of intellectual ability and commercial awareness to help parties and their lawyers get a deal done.” She is further described as “robust but in a gently persuasive way” and “full of energy trying every angle to find a solution”. Referees also state “despite being a lawyer, Jane was good at steering clear of the law and ensuring that the clients’ commercial interests were best served on the day” and “Jane works well with lawyers present to play an independent but engaged role in assisting their clients to reach agreement”.

Jane is still a firm advocate of “in life” mediation and has seen an increase in her appointments especially in an economically challenging time for business. The use of mediation techniques earlier in business relationships to help parties maintain their commitment to the deal as opposed to focusing on legal rights and obligations once things go wrong, continues to prove very successful. This supports business organisations’ desire to behave responsibly and form long-term strategic relationships.More information about Jane can be found at Jane Player – Independent Mediators.

From March 2020, Alistair’s mediations have been almost exclusively online (mainly Zoom). After a slow start the legal world adapted and Alistair has conducted over 80 online mediations. He has recently conducted three in-person mediations, but many people are still opting for online because of the time and travel benefits. Several of Alistair’s mediations have been international (USA, Bahrain, Dubai, Singapore, Italy and New Zealand).

The remaining 70% has been a very broad mix. Alistair has a strong practice in inheritance disputes, often within the farming community. He is often appointed on insurance coverage, employment, TOLATA, land and partnership and shareholders disputes

Examples: £26 million claim by the inventor of a body scanner against the manufacturers of a prototype; three multi-million pound, multi-party disputes forming part of the Grenfell fall-out: a land dispute between a significant estate and a high net worth individual who owned property on land surrounded by the estate; an insurance coverage dispute in a construction claim focussing on the difficult area of design versus workmanship; two mediations relating to complex tax avoidance schemes.

Though I was sceptical about virtual mediation initially I now wonder why we didn’t do them this way pre-pandemic – particularly where parties and advisors (and mediator) are spread all over the country. It works fantastically well and save hours of travelling – and lots of costs. 5/5” 11th April 2022

Stephen Walker S Walker Mediation

Stephen is a London-based civil and commercial mediator and is ranked among the top 40 UK mediators by both Chambers and The Legal 500

Clients describe him as a “ fantastic mediator”, “reliable, no-nonsense” who combines a “relaxed firm style with a sense of humour”, “tailors his approach to the particular circumstances of the case with particular emphasis on the dynamics of the personalities he is dealing with.” “Comes up to speed quickly on matters of fact and law.”

A senior insolvency barrister commentated: “I’ve seen Stephen bang heads together when that is what was needed to get the deal done, but equally I’ve seen him argue the fine technical and legal arguments that one would more ordinarily associate with a final contested hearing or an arbitration.”

He is credited with “gravitas which clients like” and a “creative and pragmatic style”, and being “very patient and realistic in his assessment of what settlement might be achievable and tactful in guiding clients towards an achievable solution”.

Stephen has been appointed as lead mediator in over 800 civil and commercial mediations with a settlement rate of more than 90 per cent. He became an accredited online mediator in 2015 and was mediating regularly online before covid. Since the UK Lockdown (March 2020) he has done over 200 online mediations.

Stephen has a 360-degree view of mediation as a mediator; an advocate at mediations with clients and as a client himself in a shareholders’ dispute. He understands from personal experience that the mediation process looks very different depending in which chair you are sitting.

Stephen is on the IMI panel of international commercial mediators, is dually accredited in the UK and the USA, and is a registered mediator with the Civil Mediation Council.

Stephen was a solicitor in London, specialising in commercial litigation – particularly in insurance, reinsurance, insolvency, financial services and art law. He is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and was made a fellow of the RSA for his contribution to thinking on conflict resolution. He lectures on mediation at King’s College London, on the master's degree in construction law and dispute resolution.

Stephen has extensive business experience as a film producer and as a director of a Lloyd’s insurance broker, a Lloyd’s managing agency, an IT incubator company and a biotech start-up.

Stephen embraces new ways of providing mediation to clients. Apart from Zoom he offers, in response to client requests mediators’ binding resolutions, mediation/arbitration, blind bidding and mediation after last-offer arbitration (MEDALOA).

Stephen mediates a wide range of disputes including, over the past year, professional negligence, insolvency claims, IT, property disputes, shareholder and partnership disputes, trusts, construction, defamation, supply contracts, restrictive covenants and utilities (gas, electricity and water).

Stephen co-mediates with mediators from different professional and cultural backgrounds and is experienced in mediating with interpreters.
