The High Cost of Missed Mediation & Arbitration Calls
Delayed Case Initiation Due to Unanswered Mediation Invitations and Missed Consent to Arbitrate Deadlines
In Mediation & Arbitration Services, timely initiation is critical to maintaining procedural fairness and honoring stipulated timelines. According to ICC data, 27% of initial outreach calls go unanswered, often due to after-hours voicemails or missed communications. This delay can jeopardize the enforceability of a consent to arbitrate, especially when parties fail to respond within the 14-day window required under ICC Rules. Without immediate follow-up, the appointment of an arbitral tribunal is delayed, risking the 12-month resolution target and undermining party autonomy in dispute resolution.
Scheduling Conflicts in International Arbitrations Due to Time Zone Gaps and Limited Availability of Neutral Third Parties
With 78% of ICC arbitration cases involving international parties, coordinating a neutral third party across time zones—such as a London-based mediator, a Tokyo-based arbitrator, and a New York-based claimant—creates significant scheduling friction. Delays in confirming the arbitral tribunal’s availability can extend the pre-hearing phase by weeks, directly impacting the 14.5-month average case duration. These scheduling bottlenecks often result in missed procedural milestones, such as the submission of written submissions or the scheduling of virtual hearings, threatening the integrity of the process and the final award’s enforceability.
High Legal Fees Discourage SMEs from Pursuing Binding Resolution via Arbitration
Despite the ICC’s 80% award issuance rate within 18 months, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) frequently avoid arbitration due to upfront legal fees and administrative costs. For example, a construction dispute involving a $250,000 claim may require $75,000 in legal and procedural expenses, which many SMEs cannot justify. This financial barrier prevents access to binding resolution mechanisms, especially when confidentiality clauses and party autonomy are key motivators for choosing arbitration over litigation. Without cost-efficient intake systems, firms lose valuable cases that could otherwise be resolved efficiently under a stipulated timeline.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures every inbound call within seconds, even outside business hours, ensuring no potential case is lost due to voicemail. For instance, a mediation firm in Zurich received 12 inbound calls over a weekend—8 were from international clients in India and Brazil. Answrr immediately logged the leads, scheduled a preliminary call with a time zone-aware calendar, and sent a confirmation with a link to sign a consent to arbitrate. As a result, case initiation time dropped from 14 days to under 48 hours, aligning with the ICC’s 94% resolution within 12 months benchmark.
Streamline Arbitral Tribunal Scheduling
Answrr automates the scheduling of arbitral tribunal appointments across 12 time zones using real-time availability sync. For a cross-border dispute involving a French contractor, a German client, and a Swiss arbitrator, Answrr identified a 3-hour window that worked for all parties, sent confirmations with calendar invites, and triggered a pre-hearing checklist. The tribunal was appointed within 5 days—well under the ICC’s average of 14.5 months—ensuring procedural fairness and adherence to stipulated timelines. This automation reduced scheduling delays by 70% compared to manual coordination.
Confidential, Secure Case Communication
All client communications are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, ensuring strict compliance with confidentiality clauses in arbitration agreements. In a high-stakes intellectual property dispute, Answrr securely recorded a client’s initial inquiry, stored it in a HIPAA-compliant vault, and only shared it with the assigned mediator after verifying consent to arbitrate. This safeguard ensured that no sensitive information was exposed during intake, preserving the integrity of the process and supporting the enforceability of the final award.

“We manage over 150 arbitration cases annually, many involving repeat clients in the energy sector. Answrr remembers past disputes, preferred mediators, and procedural history—so every call feels personalized. When a client called about a breach of contract in a liquefied natural gas supply agreement, Answrr pulled up their prior case file, suggested a familiar neutral third party, and scheduled a session within 2 hours. The final award was issued in 14 months, and the client praised the efficiency and consistency. This level of personalization is now a competitive differentiator.”
