Who sits on your tribunal can matter as much as the merits, because arbitrators bring their own judgment, pace, and view of the law to every ruling. We help you identify, vet, and appoint arbitrators who will give your dispute a fair, efficient, and informed hearing, and we manage the appointment process so deadlines and procedural rules never work against you.
Building a Selection Strategy
Picking an arbitrator is a strategic decision, not a name off a list. We study the shape of your case, your counterparty's likely positions, and the procedural posture, then match those factors to arbitrators whose background and tendencies fit. We weigh substantive expertise, industry and technical fluency, real availability, and how a candidate has handled similar issues, so the panel that hears your case is equipped to understand it.
Vetting and Disclosure Checks
Before any nomination, we run a hard look at independence and conflicts. We review prior appointments, published decisions, professional relationships, and any ties to the parties or counsel that could support a challenge later. Catching a disclosure problem early protects the integrity of the award and keeps your counterparty from using a conflict to unwind a result you have already won.
Managing the Appointment Process
The mechanics of constituting a tribunal carry their own traps, from party-appointment rules to the selection of a presiding arbitrator and institutional confirmation steps. We track every deadline, prepare your nominations, and handle correspondence with the institution and opposing counsel. When the parties cannot agree on a chair, we advance candidates who serve your interests and respond quickly to default-appointment procedures.
