No cost. Founding applications reviewed personally.
What is
Rising Counsel
The registry that tells you what
Chambers cannot.
Chambers ranks. Legal 500 recommends. Neither tells you whether an arbitrator has sat in Dubai, speaks French has experience with energy disputes above $50 million, and is available for appointment next month.Rising Counsel does. A searchable, comparable, independently curated registry of international arbitration practitioners — built around the information that appointment decisions actually require.For practitioners, it is the profile that sits alongside Chambers and Legal 500 in every email signature, every pitch, every introduction. The badge that signals you have been independently recognised in the global arbitration community.
What we do
01
The Registry
Verified profiles of international arbitration practitioners. Searchable by jurisdiction, specialism, language, institutional empanelment, experience, and appointment type.
02
The Recognition
Annual features, practitioner profiles, and editorial coverage. A Rising Counsel badge in your signature. Recognition that compounds over time as the registry grows.
03
The Registry
Side events at the world's major arbitration conferences. Dinners. Roundtables. The room where the right people meet — curated, not crowded.
Built for practitioners who are serious about their standing.
Rising Counsel is for the international arbitration community — the practitioners who appear before ICC, LCIA, SIAC, DIAC, ICSID, and every institution in between.It is built for the practitioner who has the experience but not yet the visibility. And for the established name who wants a profile that travels with them globally.
