Juris Resolutions

What Juris Resolutions does

Juris Resolutions (legal name Juris Mediation & Arbitration Ltd.) is a boutique alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider operating across Ireland and Northern Ireland from its headquarters in Holywood, County Down. Founded in 2016, the firm is run by two directors — Kathy Sinclair, a retired Northern Ireland solicitor and ACAS-accredited mediator, and Martin Blake, a California attorney with over 40 years' litigation experience — supported by a small staff of roughly five. Its service mix comprises three core offerings: mediation (facilitative dispute resolution), arbitration (binding determinations), and early neutral evaluation (independent non-binding assessment), delivered by a panel of eight senior practitioners including former judges and King's Counsel.

The firm operates a secure, encrypted, password-protected online portal that allows parties to upload, serve, and display documentary evidence during hearings, alongside Zoom-based videoconferencing with virtual breakout rooms for remote proceedings. Administration fees are £250 (or €250 in Ireland) per party, while mediators and arbitrators set their own daily and hourly rates, typically ranging from £1,500 to £6,500 (or €1,500 to €6,500 in Ireland) per day plus hourly charges. Juris earns both the administration fee and a services cut from the panel professionals, generating revenue on a per-case basis across commercial, employment, family, construction, insurance, and professional liability disputes.

The go-to-market is sales-led, relying on professional legal networks, direct website booking, published thought-leadership content, a monthly ADR newsletter, and speaking engagements at events such as the PEOPIL Annual Conference and Insurance Institute of NI. There is no evidence of external funding, and ownership appears to be founder/management held. Customer logos are not publicly disclosed, and the case mix spans a long tail of disputes rather than concentrated enterprise contracts.
