In brief
CEDR Solve’s direct panel—which allows clients to engage the mediator they want without requiring a mediator nomination service—has added another 20 mediators to its ranks. Launched 18 months ago, the panel has expanded from 30 mediators to 50. It is thought to be the largest panel of mediators of its kind in Europe. Members of the direct panel are also members of the main 138-strong CEDR Solve select panel, put forward to clients seeking recommendations. CEDR’s chief executive, Karl Mackie, says: “This service has been increasingly successful, as CEDR Solve has responded to the legal market’s requirement for direct access to quality mediators.”
