The Company
David Semple and Jeremy Scuse recognised mediation as a powerful and increasingly popular way for people and organisations to resolve their disputes and formed Catalyst Mediation in 2004. Both CEDR trained mediators, they have used their experiences in the law and business to provide mediation services that are both sensitive to the issues involved and business like in their approach.
Catalyst Mediation is unlike other professional UK mediation providers in one respect.
Our panel of mediators have experience, often in senior positions, of over 60 public sector, commercial and legal fields. While not essential, in many mediations it can help if the mediators have knowledge of the environment and language of your dispute. While this won't affect their independence, it may give you more confidence in them and their ability to help you find a solution.
Our mediators are there to facilitate your negotiations, not to sit in judgement or give advice and you can review the standards by which they operate in our Code of Practice.
