Why The Inner Temple works for mediation and arbitration
As a historic legal institution, The Inner Temple carries an established reputation that supports the seriousness and neutrality required for mediation and arbitration proceedings.
The venue offers a range of private meeting rooms suitable for mediation, arbitration, hearings and case conferences. Separate rooms can be allocated for opposing parties, legal teams and private consultations, allowing proceedings to be managed discreetly and efficiently.
How proceedings typically unfold at The Inner Temple
Mediation and arbitration days are structured to prioritise privacy and flexibility. Separate rooms are allocated where required, with a larger room designated for joint sessions or hearings, allowing proceedings to move between private consultation and formal discussion without disruption.
Breakout spaces enable legal representatives to confer confidentially between discussions, while the overall layout supports efficient movement throughout the day.
Refreshments and catering can be arranged as required, ensuring participants remain comfortable without interrupting proceedings. The composed surroundings provide an environment that supports focus, professionalism and constructive dialogue.
Packages
Room hire can be arranged for half day, full day or multi day proceedings, depending on the structure and duration of your case. Catering options are available and can be tailored to your requirements, from light refreshments to private working lunches served within allocated rooms.
Our team will liaise in advance to understand your needs and ensure appropriate room layouts and practical arrangements are in place.
Suitable spaces
A range of private meeting rooms are available for individual party use, supported by larger rooms suited to joint sessions and structured hearings. Rooms can be configured in boardroom, conference or hearing style layouts as required.
For larger arbitration proceedings, principal first floor rooms may also be suitable where scale and formal structure are necessary.

Planning considerations
Rooms can be allocated to ensure parties remain separate where required, and technical or layout requirements should be discussed in advance to ensure appropriate audio visual and room configuration arrangements are in place.
Catering is delivered discreetly to minimise interruption to proceedings, and early booking is recommended where multiple rooms are required or for multi day hearings.
