ADC’s Panel of Neutrals is a senior panel of Australia’s leading ADR professionals. If ADC considers that it does not have the requisite expertise for your matter on its Panel, it will appoint the right person off panel. Wherever you are based, ADC can appoint a local ADR Practitioner, or one willing to travel to you. ADC’s Panellists are also well equipped to manage your process online, as needed.
