Celebrating CEDR Mediators in the Legal 500

Written by CEDR | 02/10/25

We are proud to celebrate the many CEDR mediators recognised in The Legal 500’s Leading Mediator rankings, one of the profession’s most prestigious honours.

Legal 500 List

For over 30 years, The Legal 500 has been the global benchmark for excellence in the legal profession. Its Leading Mediator list is widely regarded as one of the highest forms of recognition in the field. Mediators are ranked following rigorous independent research, interviews with clients and peers, and extensive feedback from those who have trusted them with the most complex disputes.

This recognition highlights not only technical expertise and professional reputation, but also the ability to manage high-stakes negotiations, navigate sensitive conflicts, and deliver successful outcomes. To be included is a testament to years of consistent excellence and the trust placed in these individuals at the very top of the profession.

It reflects not only their technical expertise and experience, but also the confidence that clients place in them to resolve complex and sensitive disputes.
