Founder and CEO Catherine Rogers addresses the issue of lack of diversity and concerns about arbitrator conduct in her blogpost: The Market for Arbitrators and The Market for Lemons
The market for international arbitrators is shaped by two defining features. The first is high barriers to entry: it is really hard to become an international arbitrator. The second is profound information asymmetries: it is really difficult to obtain information about arbitrators and not all participants have equal access to that information.
Arbitrator Intelligence named as one of Top 50 legal tech innovations by The National Law Journal: 2020 Emerging Legal Technologies
Arbitrator Intelligence helps level the playing field in arbitrator selection by providing transparency and accountability in arbitrator appointments. "Parties go to international arbitration because neither party wants to be in another country's courts. They each pick three arbitrators for consideration, but all the information is confidential, so it's hard to know whom to select. So you can call your network and ask if they have appeared before the arbitrator and collect this 'collective gossip' by phone."
