Developed by the Swiss Arbitration Association (ASA), this online tool is designed to help you find the right specialist for your needs – quickly and easily. 

What is ASA Profiles? 

ASA Profiles is a fully searchable database of specialists: counsel, arbitrators, mediators, as well as legal and technical experts. With its advanced search functions, you can search for specialists based on a variety of criteria, such as area of specialisation, legal background and bar admission, languages, nationalities, countries of residence, gender, as well as level of experience with specific laws, seats, and institutions. 

In addition, the platform provides access to deeper insights into the individuals through the listing of referees who can be contacted for further feedback. This way, you can get a better understanding of someone’s experience, skills, and reputation before making your final decision. 

Who Developed the new ASA Profiles? 

The enhanced ASA Profiles platform was developed by an ASA task force of practitioners in leading law firms in Switzerland, including Felix Dasser (ASA President, Homburger, Zurich), Xavier Favre-Bulle (Lenz & Staehelin, Geneva), Cesare Jermini (Bär & Karrer, Lugano), Noradèle Radjai (LALIVE, Geneva), and James Menz (Rothorn legal, Zurich). 

According to Felix Dasser, ASA President, “The ASA Profiles platform represents a significant milestone for ASA. With this enhanced tool, we aim to provide our members with an even easier and more efficient way to find the right specialist for their needs, and to promote excellence in the field of arbitration and mediation.”
