Jane Mulcahy was called to the Bar in 1995 and is qualified as a CEDR-accredited mediator.
Prior to starting practice, Jane worked as a journalist, latterly as editorial director for a magazine publishing company. Her practice areas as a barrister are employment, sport, media and entertainment, public law and human rights. She sits on the English Cricket Board’s Appeals Panel in child protection cases. She advises sports governing bodies on a range of issues and has experience of arbitrating disputes between players and agents through her appointment on the Sports Resolutions’ list of arbitrators.
Mediation areas include:
- Employment
- Sport
- Media & entertainment
- Partnership disputes
- Professional discipline and regulatory disputes
- Public law and human rights
Jane regularly appears in the High Court and Court of Appeal as well as the employment tribunals and specialist tribunals and arbitrations in the sports arena, including the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Jane says: "In many cases the emotions of the parties are running high. There is no doubt that mediation is a wonderful forum for both expressing and defusing those emotions in a safe and confidential environment. I’m a great believer in the utility of the process. I try to add energy, understanding and intelligent communication in order to help the parties find their way through to a sustainable solution."
Jane is well recognised in the two principal legal directories for her expertise in employment, sports and media and entertainment.
