Mediation

is an experienced entertainment lawyer and dispute resolution practitioner whose practice is founded on the belief that constructive outcomes come from effective communication. Her evolution into the field of mediation is a natural development of that ethos.

The principal focus of her mediation practice is entertainment disputes, although, as a former local politician, she also has a particular interest in the positive resolution of political and social conflict.

She is accredited by CEDR, internationally recognised as the gold standard for mediation training, and has also trained in international peacemaking. A former Rotary Peace Fellow, Sarah holds masters degrees from London School of Economics (L.L.M. with Distinction), and UC Berkeley (M.A. in Political Science and M.A. in International and Area Studies). She has also conducted academic research into the effectiveness of peace processes at the London School of Economics.
