Cedr chooses Wragges litigation partner as non-executive director

Lovells litigation partner Patrick Sherrington will join him on the board.
The appointments are on a part-time, non-remunerative basis, but are fairly prestigious. The new non-executive directors will oversee Cedr's strategic development and will sit on the 22-strong board.
Cedr was formed just 10 years ago, but the not-for-profit organisation is now the UK's leading provider of alternative dispute resolution and is backed by the Confederation of British Industry.
Manning-Cox is the joint head of Wragges' litigation practice and has been Cedr-accredited since 1997. He said: "Mediation is now part of the wallpaper in any litigation practice. Since the Woolf reforms, you have to know as much as possible about it."
Manning-Cox said:"The main reason for doing it is that you have to give something back to an organisation that so far has proved to be a very good idea." He will continue to work full time in Wragges' litigation department.
Cedr's chief executive Karl Mackie said: "Andrew's experience will inform our overall strategy and his regional perspective will strengthen our commitment to deliver effective national impact."
