John Sturrock KC

The board consists of members from around the globe, including Singapore, India, Hong Kong, England, the US, Canada, Kenya, Israel and France. 

Mr Sturrock, who was the first Scot to be nominated as a distinguished fellow of the IAM in 2009, said: “At this time of real uncertainty in the world, the role of mediators to help manage and resolve difficult conflicts and disputes has probably never been more important. 

“The IAM holds itself out as the premier global body for commercial mediators and, as such, it has much to do to continue to promote mediation and support mediators at local, national and international levels. I am honoured to play a part in IAM’s ongoing governance and development.”
