Corporate and law firm membership benefits

Committed to innovation and best practice in conflict resolution

CEDR is widely regarded as the leading thinker, innovator and standard bearer in the field of international ADR.  Receiving no public funding, its foundation activities are financed solely through the profits of its commercial subsidiary CEDR Services Ltd and the support of its Members - a unique collaboration of national and international businesses, professional firms, charities, local and national governments and trade and business institutions and associations.

Whilst it is true to say that now ADR – and in particular mediation – has become a fixture in the UK legal system, there is still much for CEDR to achieve:

  • Mediation parties report varying degrees of expertise and knowledge of mediation of both lawyers and clients
  • Experienced users look to CEDR to continue to innovate the process
  • International governments are asking CEDR for developmental help with their own judicial systems
  • Businesses are still not conflict efficient and are looking to CEDR to enhance their conflict management knowledge, processes and skills

By way of a thank you for the financial commitment of its members, CEDR has created a programme of benefits designed to ensure that CEDR’s Members benefit from leading edge thinking, practice and training.
