Inside the Arbitration & ADR market.
Our proprietary Titan Crawler AI maps the relevant field first; experienced consultants qualify it by hand. The figures describe the talent market we cover.
- 2,000+
- lawyers with arbitration & adr experience
Arbitration and alternative dispute resolution demand a distinct skill set that sits apart from conventional litigation. Practitioners in this space combine procedural command across institutional and ad hoc frameworks—ICC, LCIA, ICSID, AAA, SIAC and beyond—with the analytical discipline to manage multi-jurisdictional evidentiary standards and seat-specific procedural rules. The talent pool is narrow, internationally mobile, and fiercely competed for.
Sartori & Partners maps 2,000+ lawyers with arbitration and ADR experience, spanning commercial arbitration, investment treaty work, and mediation-led resolution across the full range of disputed value. Our coverage extends from silk-track partners and senior associates at international disputes practices to in-house counsel building ADR capability inside companies that operate in heavily regulated or cross-border-intensive sectors.
Because arbitration careers rarely follow the linear path of domestic litigation, our search methodology tracks practitioners across jurisdictions, institutions and secondment histories—capturing movement that standard lateral markets miss entirely.

Learn moreArbitration & ADR recruitment — common questions
How do you identify arbitration specialists rather than general litigators?
Arbitration expertise is a distinct credential, not a practice-group label. We assess practitioners on institutional familiarity, seat experience, treaty framework exposure, and the nature of matters they have actually run—not their firm's marketing. Our mapped pool of 2,000+ lawyers is built on that substantive filter.
Can you recruit arbitration talent for an in-house disputes team?
Yes. We work with companies that operate across multiple jurisdictions and need in-house arbitration counsel who can manage proceedings, interface with external advocates, and build internal ADR frameworks. The search draws on the same mapped pool we use for private practice mandates.
What makes arbitration and ADR recruitment different from other disputes searches?
The candidate universe is genuinely global and highly specialised. A practitioner with ICSID treaty experience or LCIA-institutional depth is not interchangeable with a domestic commercial litigator, even a senior one. Reaching the right person requires prior mapping of that market—which is precisely what we maintain.
