Matrix is well known for its leading practice in international arbitration. We also have an extensive and growing practice in a wide range of civil and commercial arbitration and dispute resolution, and a number of members of Matrix are already trained and accredited as mediators (Cherie Booth QC, Gillian Morris, Maurice Sheridan, Rhodri Thompson QC, Hugh Tomlinson QC).

Leading Matrix practitioners in this area include Lord Dan Brennan QC, who is a member of the London Court of Arbitration, Professor James Crawford SC who is Whewell Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge, and Professor Philippe Sands QC who is Professor of Laws at University College London and Director of its Centre on International Courts and Tribunals; and Gillian Morris, who is a Deputy Chair of the Central Arbitration Committee and a member of the Acas Panel of Arbitrators.

The interest in alternative forms of dispute resolution or ADR is stimulated by the growing cost of litigation and a recognition that the interests of various parties to disputes are often best served by mediating issues rather than heading straight to contentious proceedings. Increasingly arbitration and mediation tools are being deployed in areas such as employment and education as well as more the more established commercial field.

We can offer trained arbitrators and mediators who are:
- Experts in a wide range of international, commercial, civil law and employment law
- Experienced in a wide range of domestic and international tribunals
- Experienced in all roles in dispute resolution; in the Chair, as advisors or counsel to parties, and as registrars and administrative support to the tribunal

Our clients include:
- National states governments and supra-national bodies
- Large privately run businesses
- Professional practices
- Private individuals
- Public bodies and departments
