About Cristian Tarcatu

A calm, pragmatic mediator focused on workable results.

As an IMI and CMC-accredited mediator with nearly a decade of experience in commercial contracts and client-facing roles, I have seen firsthand how unresolved conflict can stall progress. My background in business, commercial, banking and employment law allows me to quickly navigate complex issues and maintain a pragmatic focus on workable results.

I recognise that every dispute — whether a workplace grievance, a SEND challenge, or a commercial deadlock — requires a bespoke approach. I provide a calm, non-judgmental environment where all parties are heard, ensuring the process remains focused on finding a clear path forward.

Practice areas

Three focused areas of mediation.

My mediation practice covers three core areas: civil and commercial disputes, workplace conflict, and SEND matters. Whether you’re navigating a business disagreement, workplace tension, or educational challenges, I create a space where honest conversation leads to workable outcomes.

Why choose mediation

A different path: faster, kinder, and in your hands.

Mediation is a structured but flexible process that helps you resolve disputes without the stress and expense of going to court. Unlike a courtroom where a judge makes the call, mediation gives you the opportunity to shape your own agreement in a confidential, collaborative setting.

Cost-Effective

Mediation typically costs a fraction of the legal fees associated with a court case or a protracted HR grievance.

Time-Efficient

Most disputes can be resolved in a single day, compared to months or years in the legal system.

Complete Confidentiality

Unlike court records, mediation is private. Your reputation and sensitive business data remain protected.

You Keep Control

You aren’t at the mercy of a judge’s ruling. An agreement only happens if you agree to the terms.

Preserves Relationships

Because the process is collaborative rather than adversarial, it’s possible to maintain professional or personal connections afterward.

Legally Binding

Once a settlement is signed, it is a contract that provides a definitive end to the dispute.

My approach

Three principles I bring to every session.

Commercial insight meets legal rigour

Drawing on a decade of experience in commercial contracts and specialised training in business, banking and employment law, I grasp complex issues at speed. I keep the process moving toward pragmatic, sustainable solutions that respect both the law and the bottom line.

Human-focused and empathetic

Conflict is personal. I provide a calm, neutral and confidential space for individuals and businesses to navigate tension. My priority is to move parties away from ‘winning or losing’ and toward clarity and mutual agreement.

The neuro-informed advantage

As a neurodivergent mediator, I offer a distinctive ability to identify communication gaps and adapt my style in real time. This ensures an inclusive environment where every voice is heard — a perspective that is particularly impactful in SEND mediation and emotionally charged workplace disputes.
