Arbitrators and Mediators
The panel of arbitrators comprises persons who have, in the main, occupied senior positions in the re/insurance market as an underwriter, broker or claims executive. There are also some who have credentials in other areas of expertise relating to re/insurance, notably legal and accountancy.
Most of the panel members are based in England but there are also a number based in other parts of Europe and in the USA. The panel members, now numbering almost 100, are also provided with tutorials on arbitration practice and are encouraged to attend the Society’s (annual) conferences to supplement their knowledge.
Details of those panel members who have authorised their inclusion on our website are available on the panel members’ page. The current panel member subscription is £150 for one year or £250 for two years.
Corporate Members
The Society’s supporting members comprise firms engaged in the re/insurance market as solicitors, insurers, reinsurers or brokers and other advisers. To ensure the Society continues to operate effectively, supporting members are, from 2015, being asked to make an annual contribution of £250 per firm.
In return, the Society will give greater prominence to such firms by providing a link to each firm’s website or to its relevant department’s webpage as well as links to up to three named partners or associates. Additionally, supporting firms’ nominated individuals will be invited to attend the Society’s annual conference held each year in early summer.
Details of existing corporate members are listed here. These particulars will be up-dated as and when replies are received from firms wishing to continue their support on a subscription basis.
Individual Members
Any individual may join the Society on their own behalf as a supporter. The Individual Membership fee is £150 per year. This will entitle you to attend ARAIS (UK) events but your name and contact details will not appear on the ARIAS (UK) Website.
Please note that in the interests of maintaining the quality of our Panel, when submitting his/her application a candidate must confirm, if true, that he/she is not aware of any finding of any court, tribunal or regulatory process reflecting adversely on his/her honesty or integrity.
