27. CEDR Mediation Audit 2025 – What It Tells Us About ADR Today

The CEDR Mediation Audit 2025 is out, offering the most reliable snapshot yet of mediation practice in the UK. With responses from more than 460 mediators, it shows settlement rates remain impressively high, the market is broadening, and the profession continues to grow in diversity and scope. It also highlights challenges around awareness, inclusion, and building sustainable practices - and, for the first time, includes a section on AI in mediation. In this episode, Gregg Hunt reflects on the findings and what they mean for mediators, arbitrators, ombudsmen and adjudicators. 👉 Find out more about our AI for Mediators training, developed with Business AI Studio, covering ChatGPT, custom GPTs and LM Notebook: https://huntadr.com/mediation-ai-training-blog/ 👉 Interested in becoming a mediator?
