Mediation

Professor Robin Callender Smith is available for appointment or nomination as a mediator in UK and international disputes requiring a professional and neutral approach to dispute resolution.


He completed his mediation qualifications in London at the internationally recognised Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR).

Generally, a mediator’s skills focus on facilitating a process where the parties, themselves, reach a solution they devise and agree on. Occasionally, however, the mediator’s sectoral expertise can assist the parties in overcoming obstacles within the process.

  • Consumer energy regulation.
  • Data protection and Environmental information.
  • Disciplinary matters.
  • Financial services regulation and the application of professional standards expected of FCA-authorised key corporate individuals and advisors.
  • Freedom of information issues.
  • Higher education.
  • Human rights issues relating to fair trial and open justice, privacy and freedom of expression and speech.
  • Insurance and insurance-related investment products.
  • Judicial matters: he is a trained judicial trainer and judicial appraiser.
  • Media regulation, editorial and journalistic practice.
  • Telecommunications, particularly in the premium-rate telephony sector.
