The Neutrals Bench Appointment
The Right Neutral. Every Time.
The outcome of any process – negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or evaluation – depends on the neutral who leads it. If the neutral lacks independence, credibility, or the right expertise, trust breaks down and disputes escalate.
At THE NEUTRALS, appointments are made exclusively through The Neutrals Bench – the world’s first prevention-first global registry of trusted neutrals, verified for independence, impartiality, and international standards.
The Project Journey with Neutrals
- Credibility → neutrals undergo rigorous verification.
- Impartiality → conflicts of interest checked and disclosed.
- Competence → appointments based on sector expertise and jurisdictional knowledge.
- Certainty → trusted process recognized globally.
- Efficiency → faster, leaner, prevention-first appointments.
Request Submitted → any party, counsel, or institution requests a neutral.
Needs Assessment → we review the dispute type, sector, stage, and jurisdiction.
Shortlist Proposed → 2–3 suitable neutrals from The Bench are recommended.
Selection Confirmed → parties select; conflicts check completed.
Neutral Appointed → engagement begins under agreed rules or protocols.
- Corporates & SMEs → appoint mediators, evaluators, or arbitrators.
- Law Firms & In-House Counsel → independent appointments for clients.
- Governments & Public Institutions → neutral chairs, oversight panels, or dispute managers.
- Individuals & Communities → impartial professionals for sensitive disputes.
What Makes This Different?
Proposal vs Appointment vs Administration
Proposal → where parties seek suggested names or an expert opinion before a case or negotiation.
Appointment → when parties need a binding or formal neutral appointment (mediator, arbitrator, expert).
Administration → in some cases, THE NEUTRALS also coordinates the process: document exchange, procedural oversight, monitoring costs and timelines.
Appointment Options
Single Neutral → for evaluation, mediation, or arbitration.
Panel of Neutrals → for complex or cross-border disputes.
Emergency Neutral → urgent appointment within 24–72 hours.
Standing Appointment → ongoing neutral retained for projects, contracts, or institutions.
Expert Appointment → sector-specific technical evaluators (engineers, accountants, IP specialists) where expert determination is needed.
