Prime Dispute's panels consist of senior and experienced practitioners who are trained arbitrators, commercial/civil mediators and dispute avoidance/resolution specialists*. When a request is received by Prime Dispute for an arbitrator, mediator or dispute avoidance/resolution specialist to be appointed, or a party has a dispute resolution contract clause that nominates Prime Dispute to administer the case*, Prime Dispute makes a selection from the most qualified and suitable member from the Panels. All individuals who are members of one of these panels have demonstrated to Prime Dispute that they have a suitable level of knowledge, skill and experience in their discipline, together with a commitment to ongoing development.
