Position
Mark Jackson-Stops has been a full-time mediator since the mid 1990s and founded IPOS Mediation, then known as In Place of Strife, in 1995. He has since become recognised as one of the UK’s most experienced mediators, having conducted over 1,700 mediations. Two decades practising as a Chartered Surveyor from 1973 lent him an unsurpassable insight into certain specialist areas of expertise including property development, investment and management, as well as tenant negotiations and valuations. However, it has been the last twenty years plus, spent in full time mediation of commercial disagreements of every kind, that have really refined his legal acumen and the calm, confident style that’s so essential to successful dispute resolution.
Mark trained as a mediator in the UK with CEDR, by whom he is accredited, and also with USA&M, then one of the largest US mediation practices, in Houston and El Paso, Texas.
As a chartered surveyor, Mark’s experience covered principally property development and finance, landlord and tenant negotiations, property investment, management and valuation. When in practice as a chartered surveyor, he held appointments as an expert valuer in a number of professional negligence cases and also acted as a Receiver under the Law of Property Act.
In his mediation career, Mark frequently acts in cases involving the insurance market, whether coverage issues, breach of conditions, professional negligence, property damage, business interruption and the like.
Mark Jackson-Stops has considerable business experience. He has been a non-executive director of a number of companies involved in nursing homes, property development and investment and public houses.
Mark was the recipient of the Judge’s Award for Achievement in Mediation, National Mediation Awards 2020 and he has been recognised as a Thought Leader in Mediation by Who’s Who Legal 2021.
