Choosing the right Arbitrator is one of the most important steps in any Arbitration. It is sometimes argued that arbitration is only as good as the arbitrator, and that defects in international arbitration may be attributed to poor arbitrators.

By choosing the ideal arbitrator, it becomes easy to simplify a complex issue. Unless a specific arbitrator is specified in the arbitration clause, parties may choose anyone they would like to serve as arbitrator, regardless of his or her location, if they have no conflict of interests with that individual. It is very rare and dangerous that arbitrator is specified in the arbitration clause, since arbitrators can die, creating jurisdictional problems.

Choose an Arbitrator with Significant Experience

It is important to choose an arbitrator with significant experience in arbitration procedure and law, along with relevant expertise in the matter of dispute, who does not have a conflict of interests, and who is fully fluent in the language of the arbitration. In order to have a well-run arbitration procedure, with little risk of an arbitration award being overturned before a State court after being rendered.

For most disputes, knowledge of arbitration process tends to be more useful than prior industry expertise to ensure a well-run arbitration and award. However, highly-specialized fields, such as space law, expertise in the specific field in dispute may be essential.
