The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators is a worldwide professional organisation that promotes alternative dispute resolution (ADR), thus avoiding necessity to resort to the courts. The Ireland Branch with over 700 members, across the 32 counties and both legal jurisdictions, was formed in 1981. From modest beginnings the Ireland Branch of Ciarb has become the preeminent organisation in the promotion of dispute avoidance and the expedient resolution of conflict.
