ArbSelector® is a comprehensive, interactive tool that enables counsel and stakeholders to perform side-by-side evaluations of FINRA arbitrators to assist in effective panel selection.

ArbSelector® enables legal counsel to make informed, strategic decisions in their selection of FINRA arbitrators. Over the past decade, ArbSelector® has become recognized as the industry standard for this important due diligence task. Based on the entirety of FINRA, NASD, and NYSE award data, as well as proprietary arbitrator insights, ArbSelector® delivers a level of detail, accuracy, and integrity demanded by those who rely on it to successfully choose the preferred panel for arbitration.

How ArbSelector® Works

Submit Prospective Arbitrator List.

You provide the list of prospective arbitrators and bios supplied by FINRA, along with the Claimant’s Statement of Claim, as soon as that information is available to you.

We Provide Your Summary Report.

This report is a comprehensive, side-by-side comparison of potential FINRA arbitrators, including preliminary rankings based on key metrics, including ratios from prior awards.

You Select Your Arbitrators. We Monitor Them.

Once the panel is finalized and our team has been notified, we continually monitor each panelist, and alert you on a weekly basis of any new awards involving your arbitrators, providing ongoing due diligence throughout the duration of your case.

Report Inventory

ArbSelector® utilizes over 35 years of historical FINRA, NASD, and NYSE awards and provides clients a high-level summary report containing valuable preliminary rankings and metrics needed to accurately compare arbitrators side-by-side. These criteria include compensatory and total damages requested / awarded, arbitrator experience with each party and counsel, supplemental case details, qualitative alerts, and cross-referencing of attorneys and brokerage firms with each arbitrator.

Along with the summary report, ArbSelector® also delivers detailed, in-depth analyses covering issues spanning:

  • Arbitrator / Attorney Cross-Referencing
