Welcome to FamilyArbitrator

FamilyArbitrator aims to promote informed understanding of family arbitration principles and to encourage the spread of arbitration as a form of private dispute resolution in financial and child-related family cases.

FamilyArbitrator was established by the late Sir Peter Singer, Gavin Smith and Rhys Taylor, and we have since been joined by Andrzej Bojarski KC, James Pirrie, Karin Walker, Tom Carter, Nichola Gray KC, Paul Infield, Hannah Markham QC, Richard Sear KC, Will Tyler QC and Claire Heppenstall. We are all experienced family law specialists, qualified arbitrators and Members of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, available to help resolve financial disputes of all types, and some private law child-related, by making awards (finance and property) and determinations (children) under the  two IFLA family law arbitration schemes.
