Nomination and Appointments Service

AMINZ maintains Panels and Lists of suitably qualified and experienced arbitrators, mediators, adjudicators and other dispute resolution specialists who have met rigorous standards and are available for appointment when parties are seeking a professional to help settle a dispute.

The terms and engagement for Panel and List members, including fees, are negotiated and agreed with the nominee or appointee prior to appointment.

Some contracts and statutes list AMINZ as the appointing authority for the purposes of appointing the arbitrator, mediator or adjudicator when parties are unable to agree. On these occasions AMINZ usually charges the requesting party a processing fee for making an appointment.

The appointee acts in his or her own right and is not an agent or representative of the Institute.
