Most of our members are not arbitrators but are involved in aspects of dispute resolution, including:

  • arbitration
  • mediation
  • adjudication
  • expert determination
  • expert witness work

We organise approximately 10 events a year, most of which are free to attend and all of which are open to non-members of the CIArb.
