Call for Applications
(Last Updated: 26 January 2016)
Background
The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Committee (the Committee) maintained a HKIE List of Arbitrators and Mediators to facilitate the referral of arbitrators and/or mediators should requests for referral be received.
NOTE:
The HKIE joined as a member of the Hong Kong Mediation Accreditation Association Limited (HKMAAL) with effective from 25 October 2013. The HKMAAL, as a single accreditation body in Hong Kong, is a non-profit-making company limited by guarantee. The founder members of HKMAAL are the Hong Kong Bar Association, the Law Society of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre and the Hong Kong Mediation Centre. More information of the HKMAAL can be found at their website at http://www.hkmaal.org.
