🔎 Description of each filter:

Remember that the filters some filters are exclusive for practitioner search.

  • Profile type:

This filter allows you to select Arbitrators, Lawyers, Legal Experts, Experts, Tribunal Secretaries, Law and Expert Firms or Institutions which have acted in arbitration cases known to Jus Mundi.

Whenever you select one of the categories from the filters, you will find that the sub-filters will rearrange accordingly.

  • Language:

If you are only looking for practitioners that speak a certain language, you can always use this filter to narrow down your search results.

For example, by selecting “English”, you will only see individuals that speak English. However, if you select "English" + "French”, only practitioners who speak both English and French will appear in your search results.

  • Gender:

This filter allows you to find individuals from a specific gender (either male or female) - it can be a handy tool if you would like to ensure a more diverse arbitration panel.

  • Nationality:

This filter enables you to either “Include” or "Exclude” any given nationality. For example, if you want to see legal practitioners that have French nationality, you can simply select "French" to see all the individuals with this nationality.

You can also select more than one nationality - just keep in mind that if you choose Argentinean, Brazilian and French, for instance, you will see legal practitioners that have either an Argentinian or Brazilian or French nationality (and not those who have all three nationalities at once).

Jus Connect search engine, with ‘Nationality’ filter open, 'French' as selected value and button for excluding nationalities.

If, on the other hand, you want to exclude a certain nationality (e.g., French) from your search results, you can always activate the "Exclude selected nationalities" slide bar and then click on "French".

When using the "Exclude" feature, remember that if you select more than one nationality at a time, the practitioners that appear will be those that do not have any of those nationalities. This means that you will choose to exclude Argentinians and Brazilians, and French, for example.

  • Firm

This filter displays the individual’s last place of work, as known to Jus Mundi. This information is extracted from our case documents and also from individuals’ self-declared work experience on their profiles.

For instance, if a legal professional worked at White & Case and has now moved to Allen & Overy, you will only find their profile if you select “Allen & Overy” as a filter.

  • Location

➡️ Firms: shows all the firm’s offices mentioned on our case documents.

➡️ Legal practitioners: shows the individual’s last place of work as known to Jus Mundi.

Remember that if you select different locations at once, you will see all the legal professionals and firms that were tagged to one or the other location.

  • Type of case:

This filter allows you to look for legal practitioners/firms that have experience working with certain types of cases, which include: Commercial Arbitration, Inter-State, Investor-State cases and more.

  • Industry:

You can choose a general Industry or a more specific one to narrow down your search results. For example, you can select “Agriculture, forestry and fishing" as a whole (which encompasses all of this sector) or just "Forestry and Logging" to see all individuals and firms that have worked specifically in this field.

Note: we have created this list internally by combining different international standards, our users’ needs and our cases’ content.

  • Applicable law

This filter concerns the law governing the merits of the dispute and allows you to look for legal practitioners/firms that have experience with a particular applicable law.

Note: regarding the United States, you can also apply this filter for the different States within the country.

  • Applicable treaty

By selecting this filter, you will be able to choose among multilateral agreements, free trade agreements and bilateral investment agreements. We have a comprehensive list that includes treaties like the NAFTA, Energy Charter, WTO Agreement, and many more.

  • Tribunal/Court/Institution

You can also filter your search results by different institutions such as ICC, IBA, ICJ, ICSID, and others by browsing through our options.

  • Rules of arbitration

Here you can look for a general set of rules of arbitration or more specific ones. For example, when typing in “ICC (International Chamber of Commerce)”, you will find results for the general ICC set of rules of arbitration, but also for the ICC Pre-Arbitral Referee Rules 1990 and the ICC Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration 1957.

❓Can I use more than one filter at once?

Definitely. The more filters you add, the more thorough and specific your research will be. Mixing & matching filters will allow you to:

✔ Save time when doing your due diligence.
