Presidential Panels
Presidential panels comprise senior and experienced practitioners who are trained arbitrators, commercial and civil mediators, and adjudicators.
When a request is received by Ciarb, or a party has a dispute resolution contract clause that nominates the President of Ciarb to appoint an arbitrator, mediator, or adjudicator, the President makes a selection from the most qualified and suitable members of the Presidential panel for the job.
All panel members have demonstrated to Ciarb that they have a suitable level of knowledge, skill, and experience in their discipline; together with a commitment to ongoing personal professional development and high ethical and professional standards of conduct.
