INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

DELOS IS AN INDEPENDANT ARBITRATION INSTITUTION THAT PROVIDES AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO COMMERCIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

DELOS's COMMITMENT TO THE IA COMMUNITY

Delos is committed to the international arbitration community. We describe below our related initiatives.

Delos has created an open access arbitrator database. It includes arbitrators who can sit in ad hoc and institutional arbitrations, in all seats and under all procedural rules, across a wide range of areas of expertise. You can use the search fields to put together an initial list of arbitrators who possess the requisite attributes for your case.

Any arbitrator or aspiring arbitrator can register to be included in the database for free by signing up here as a free Delos member. You will then be able to fill out your profile, and choose which fields to disclose only to Delos for appointment by Delos, and which fields to make publicly available in this database.

This initiative is part of Delos's commitment to diversity.

The Delos Guide to Arbitration Places, known as the 'GAP', is designed to assist in-house counsel, corporate lawyers and arbitration practitioners with efficiently accessing key insights into a large range of jurisdictions, including for the purposes of negotiating the choice of arbitral seats and conducting arbitral proceedings in those jurisdictions. It was nominated for the 2019 GAR Award for Innovation.

The intersection of technology and international arbitration is not only increasingly topical, it is also increasingly present and shaping (our perception of) the future of international arbitration practice. Delos has accordingly created the Tech Channel for practitioners to stay abreast of tech developments relevant to the practice of IA (and dispute resolution). You can sign up for it here.

Delos has initiated four webinar series:

In conversation with Neil (2020-2021), where Neil Kaplan explored the careers and personal stories of his guests with Chiann Bao.
TagTime (2020-present), which features leaders from the world of international arbitration in substantive discussion of well-known cases and relevant case material, with co-hosts Dr Kabir Duggal and Amanda Lee.
Café Arbitral (2022-2023): tiene como objetivo cubrir cuestiones sustantivas del mundo del arbitraje internacional a través de paneles de destacados profesionales, 100% en lengua española, con Cecilia Flores Rueda y Luis Miguel Velarde Saffer.
A Case In Time (2023-present), which aims to provide practitioners and anyone with a substantive interest in international arbitration with weekly insights into significant arbitration-related case law from around the world. The series combines weekly 30mn pinpoints with a comparative law angle: our Headnote entries, and monthly 90mn deep dives into landmark court decisions: our Journal entries. These events build on Delos's leading practitioner Guide to Arbitration Places (GAP).

Delos has put together the following:

Delos also supported and published the findings of a survey of users' views and experiences of remote hearings (see here).

Delos finally launched a comprehensive suite of hearing services, available internationally. This includes an access initiative for smaller value disputes.

The Inaugural Events Series provided an opportunity for exchange with the arbitration community about the Delos approach to arbitration and its emphasis on time and cost efficiency, combined with quality and flexibility.
