About the National Arbitration Forum

The National Arbitration Forum (FORUM) is a leading international administrator of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services including mediation and arbitration. We provide parties with an opportunity to resolve disputes with the assistance of a legally-trained expert or panel of experts, referred to as neutrals. Over 1,500 attorneys and retired judges serve as neutrals on our international panel, following and applying the substantive law when rendering decisions and evaluating cases. In addition, trained case coordinators answer parties’ procedural questions, schedule mediations and hearings, and manage the flow of information between the parties and their neutral(s) until a case is resolved.

FORUM Mediators

FORUM mediators are more than just industry experts—they are retired judges and experienced attorneys. All of the FORUM’s mediators have extensive legal backgrounds and uphold strict legal and ethical standards in their conduct of mediation sessions.

Request a Mediation

You may request a mediation session by contacting the FORUM via telephone, facsimile, mail or email. The FORUM’s mediation rules outline the simple steps for submitting a formal mediation request. Mediation request forms are also available on the FORUM’s website.
