Each of the MSMS firms has an MSMS Advisor.  These are people within each law firm to whom others generally turn for advice on mediation, particularly in relation to the choice of mediators.  Many, but not all, of the MSMS Advisors are themselves accredited as mediators with a recognised mediation organisation.

The MSMS Advisors work together to promote greater use of mediation internally within their own firms and externally with clients and contacts.  MSMS has a pool of experienced mediators with specialised maritime expertise.  There are a number of experienced mediators within the MSMS Firms.  With their knowledge of the maritime sector and their daily involvement in the art of negotiation, MSMS Mediators are well placed to facilitate the settlement of disputes in this specialised area.  The MSMS Advisors do not restrict their recommendations to Mediators from the MSMS Firms but always recommend Mediators with the appropriate skill and expertise.
