Our guide features arbitrators specializing in a wide variety of areas from commercial arbitration, international arbitration, investment arbitration and everything in-between.
Each July, based on peer nominations, just one leading arbitrator is selected 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 ADR professionals, 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 assess 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.
