Fellowship of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and the associated post-nominal FCIArb indicates a level of professionalism, ethics and competence recognised and celebrated throughout the world, distinguishing newer arbitrators hoping to receive their first appointment.
But CIArb Fellowship alone does not guarantee one’s first arbitrator appointment. A number of considerations including an arbitrator’s experience, expertise, reputation, accomplishments, inclusion on ADR providers’ rosters, availability, technical acumen, case management, conflicts and a party’s preference and familiarity, to name a few, all factor in receiving one’s first arbitrator appointment.
Join us as seasoned and newer arbitrators, ADR providers and counsel share their insights on important factors to consider in order to receive one’s first arbitrator appointment. Ideally suited to Fellows seeking their first arbitrator appointment.
