Arbitration is a private, contractual form of dispute resolution. It provides for the determination of disputes by a third party arbitrator or arbitration panel, selected by the parties to the dispute. Disputes are resolved based on material facts, documents and relevant principles of law.

Arbitration proceeds similar to regular litigation, with the submission of the issue to a single decision maker (the arbitrator) or an arbitration panel. Their decision is final and legally binding.

It is possible for anyone to become an arbitrator, although it is common for them to progress from the legal profession. Aside from a legal background, arbitrators can come from a variety of professional and technical careers. Parties in dispute will often try and appoint an arbitrator who has relevant experience for their case, someone who will be able to understand the complexities of the dispute.

Some of the skills and knowledge required to be an arbitrator include:

* Knowledge and understanding of the laws of contract, tort and evidence.
* Able to use the applicable procedural law.
* Able to evaluate arguments in a fair and neutral way.
* Able to draw conclusions effectively.

In the UK, the first step to becoming a Chartered Arbitrator is to undertake the necessary training. The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIARB) trains and accredits practitioners, and offers fast-track assessment programmes for legal professionals. RICS also offers a Diploma in Arbitration, which is a nationally-recognised qualification.

Once qualified, arbitrators must gain practical experience. This can be done by ‘shadowing’ experienced arbitrators and assisting under their supervision, as well as pro bono arbitrating of smaller disputes.

After some practical experience has been gained, arbitrators can advertise for paid appointments on larger arbitrations.
