The Arbitrators: The premier independent guide to the World’s leading Arbitration and ADR practitioners
Since 2003, The Arbitrators has been assisting private parties, sovereign governments, and state-owned enterprises by identifying leading arbitrators around the world, helping to make the selection of a reputable ADR professional more straightforward. Our guide features arbitrators specializing in a wide variety of areas from commercial arbitration, international arbitration, investment arbitration and everything in-between.
Each December we select just one leading attorney in each country to appear in the directory. Our in-depth nomination, research and selection process is completely independent.
Every year, more than 80,000 nomination forms are distributed to business directors, in-house counsel, industry experts and lawyers in private practice worldwide. A shortlist for each country is formed based on the results of the peer nominations and our own independent research. The team then asses the shortlisted lawyers based on 8 key performance indicators, before a final selection is made for each jurisdiction.
To assist potential clients, we provide a detailed profile of each lawyer in the guide, highlighting their expertise and experience, recent cases, credentials and full contact information.
