Graeme Mew is a lawyer and a dispute resolution professional offering advocacy, mediation, arbitration and third party neutral services to parties involved in or seeking to avoid civil disputes. He brings to the dispute resolution process 28 years as a litigation lawyer practising in England and Canada backed by extensive training in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and experience as a neutral. Graeme is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and is accredited as a mediator by the Centre for Dispute Resolution (CEDR).

He is a judicial officer for the International Rugby Board and a Specialist Member of the Football Association Judicial Panel. Graeme believes that effective dispute resolution is best achieved when the neutral fully understands the legal and factual issues and help the parties to assess their risks and options pragmatically. The ability to listen, to see the bigger picture and to be creative and practical in helping to bring about resolution of the dispute is all-important.
