Int-Arb Arbitrators is a specialist set of international arbitrators and mediators based in London, which has been created to allow each member the freedom to operate without conflicts. Members of Int-Arb Arbitrators are completely independent, not attached to a law firm or barristers’ chambers and with a sole focus of sitting only as an arbitrator or mediator.
Each member is supported by an experienced team who all have legal management backgrounds. Our team know the arbitrators and mediators’ respective practice and areas of expertise, fully. This is complemented with an administrative and business support service provided to members which include diary and practice management, marketing and business development.
Int-Arb Arbitrators has a diverse list which allows an opportunity to provide both suitable and wide-ranging recommendations. The management team offers a bespoke and transparent service to those who approach us, when in search of an arbitrator or mediator. We talk through and have detailed conversations to understand the requirements of the dispute to suggest the most appropriate arbitrator or mediator.
Service delivery and attention to our clients is unparalleled and centred on excellence. We not only save time with your search but add value and comfort when making a choice of arbitrator or mediator.
