About<br />
us<br />
The <strong>Chartered</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Arbitrators</strong> (CIArb)<br />
is the pr<strong>of</strong>essional home <strong>of</strong> dispute resolvers.<br />
As an international not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it organisation,<br />
our mission is to promote the use <strong>of</strong> alternative<br />

throughout the world.<br />
We also provide support to our qualified, active and highly<br />
regarded membership. Our members include arbitrators,<br />
construction adjudicators and mediators, all working to resolve<br />
disputes in a flexible, non-court environment.<br />
We pride ourselves on being a truly global network, with over<br />
12,000 members working in sectors as diverse as finance,<br />
construction, oil and gas and agriculture in over 110 countries<br />
worldwide. Many are active ADR pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, while others<br />
become members for their own personal development or to<br />
enhance their careers in a range <strong>of</strong> areas including quantity<br />
surveying, civil engineering, architecture, law, academia, HR and<br />
project management.<br />
We provide dedicated pr<strong>of</strong>essional guidance to our members<br />
through world-renowned training, conferences, events, research<br />
and publications. With nearly 40 branches worldwide, we can<br />
ensure that all <strong>of</strong> our members have access to CIArb training<br />

CIArb’s international reputation and academic rigour provide<br />
our members with a powerful mark <strong>of</strong> quality assurance to help<br />
