The German Arbitration Institute (DIS) also operates as Appointing Authority. Provided that all parties agree on the DIS as Appointing Authority, the DIS will select and appoint suitable arbitrators for ad hoc arbitrations or suitable persons for alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
The parties thereby benefit from the extensive network, experience and reputation of the DIS as the leading contact point for arbitrations and alternative dispute resolution in Germany. The DIS may appoint one or more suitable persons directly as well as assist parties in their selection process. In particular, short lists of potential candidates may be provided upon request.
By resolution of the DIS Managing Board dated 22 May 2024, the DIS shall charge a fee of up to 2,000 € per candidate for acting as an Appointing Authority or for a specific recommendation. The decision on the amount of the fee lies at the discretion of the DIS.
