It includes information about women lawyers, arbitrators, mediators, neutrals, experts, adjudicators, surveyors, facilitators, ombudswomen, forensic consultants, online dispute resolution professionals, academics and education competition coaches.
Our Find Practitioners Database is regularly visited by potential clients and practitioners searching for women in ADR in any role. Our Publications Database, to which all Members may contribute, is an excellent resource for practitioners searching for publications on specific ADR topics.

We aim to make membership relevant and useful to all women in this field, irrespective of their age, level of experience, the jurisdiction in which they work, or their role in the field.
