What Affiliation With IMADRI Means

IMADRI network affiliation is a professional partnership — not an employment relationship. Affiliates remain fully independent practitioners who choose to operate within the IMADRI framework and benefit from its global reach.

IMADRI Methodology

Affiliates are trained in and apply the Culturally Matched Mediation™ framework — a structured approach to dispute resolution that accounts for cultural context, communication styles, and cross-border legal norms.

Referral Network Access

Affiliates receive case referrals from IMADRI's global client base, including corporations, law firms, government agencies, and NGOs seeking culturally fluent dispute resolution professionals in specific regions.

Co-Branding & Credentialing

Affiliates may identify as IMADRI Network Members, use the IMADRI brand in professional materials (subject to standards), and access IMADRI's continuing education resources and thought leadership platform.

Independent Practice

Affiliation with IMADRI is not an employment relationship. Network members remain independent professionals, maintaining their own practices and client relationships while operating within the IMADRI quality framework.

No Employment Relationship

IMADRI network members are independent professionals. Affiliation does not create an employer-employee relationship. You maintain full control of your practice, your clients, and your schedule — while gaining access to IMADRI's methodology, brand, and international referral network.
