About the Speaker
John Sturrock KC (HF 1984-85) graduated with a First Class Honours degree in law from the University of Edinburgh in 1980, where he was Senior President of the Students Association. He was awarded a Harkness Fellowship in 1984 to study for an LLM at the University of Pennsylvania. Following a career at the Scottish Bar, he moved into the field of conflict resolution, training in negotiation at Harvard. As founder and senior mediator at Core Solutions (www.core-solutions.com), John is recognised as a pioneer in mediation and as one of the leading mediators in the UK, with an international reputation. He is identified as a Global Elite Thought Leader by Who’s Who Legal and is a Distinguished Fellow of the international Academy of Mediators.
In 2019, John conducted a well-received review for the Scottish Government into allegations of bullying in the health sector in Scotland and he has worked with all the parliaments in the UK on effective scrutiny. He advises and coaches Scottish Government officials in a variety of policy contexts and has worked extensively with sport, particularly in the lead up to the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics.
John was a member of the Stewarding Group of the first Citizens Assembly in Scotland and also co-chaired an Expert Group which produced a report entitled “Bringing Mediation into the Mainstream”. He is a founder of Collaborative Scotland (www.collaborativescotland.org), an initiative to bring respectful dialogue to Scottish politics and public affairs. In 2022, he published the second volume of his book entitled A Mediator’s Musings, both volumes of which are available on Amazon.
