2008 CEDR Awards for Excellence in ADR - call for entries

The announcement of the biennial CEDR Awards for Excellence in ADR - the seventh occasion of their offering - marks a further milestone in what has been an eventful period for effective dispute resolution and conflict management. Since the last awards in 2006, the UK market for mediation services has grown by a further 33 per cent, reflecting an increasing and ever-widening recognition of the role that ADR processes can play in mitigating the costs of litigation and poor conflict management. And this change is also evident on the international scene - with numerous jurisdictions now introducing mediation pilots, and mediators increasingly being called in to help resolve international disputes.
