Become a Panelist
VanIAC’s panels consists of accomplished and respected experts from both the legal and business community. Our panelists are highly regarded practitioners with experience in domestic and international arbitration and mediation.
In order to join one of VanIAC’s panels, an applicant must demonstrate the appropriate level of experience and training for the specified panel and meet VanIAC’s admission criteria. All applications are reviewed by VanIAC’s Board of Directors in accordance with the Centre’s Panel Administration Policy. All arbitrators appointed to a VanIAC arbitration panel are subject to the Centre’s Arbitrator Code of Conduct.
To begin the application process, please submit the following documents to the Centre by email at resolve@vaniac.org:
- a completed Panel Application Form
- a current curriculum vitae (CV),
- a profile picture (2” x 3”, better 150px by 200px, .jpg format) (optional), and
- any additional information that you feel may assist the Centre in evaluating your application.
Upon receipt of your complete application, the Centre will issue an invoice for the non-refundable Panel Application Fee of $100.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. Your application will not be processed until the Centre receives the Panel Application Fee.
Successful applicants are subject to an Annual Panel Fee of $250.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. You will be invoiced for the Annual Panel Fee at the same time you are notified of your acceptance to one or more VanIAC panels. In the year you are first appointed to a VanIAC panel, the annual invoice will be prorated to the date of your appointment.
Panel appointments are for a one-year term ending on December 31 of every year, and must be renewed annually.
We thank you for your interest in becoming part of the VanIAC’s panel of arbitrators and mediators.
