The Cost of Missed Case Coordination Calls
Missed Pre-Hearing Conference Calls Delay Institutional Arbitration Proceedings
In 2024, 27% of FINRA arbitration cases faced scheduling delays due to missed pre-hearing conference calls, often caused by unresponsive parties during off-hours or unclear protocols. For example, a party-appointed arbitrator in a cross-border securities dispute failed to confirm attendance for a critical pre-hearing conference, resulting in a procedural order delay and a 14-day extension of the case timeline. This risk is amplified in institutional arbitration, where strict adherence to procedural orders is mandatory to avoid dismissal or default rulings.
Cross-Time Zone Coordination Delays Procedural Orders in International Arbitration
With over 60% of international arbitration cases involving parties from different countries, coordinating pre-hearing conferences and procedural orders across time zones remains a persistent bottleneck. In one ICC case involving a U.S.-based financial institution and a German vendor, a 12-hour time difference caused a three-day delay in confirming a neutral arbitrator’s availability, delaying the issuance of a procedural order and pushing back the deadline for document exchange. Such delays can jeopardize expedited arbitration timelines and increase administrative costs.
Unverified Party Identity Compromises Case Initiation in Institutional Arbitration
In 82% of U.S. commercial arbitration cases that settled before hearing, proper case initiation was contingent on verified party identity. A recent case at FINRA was dismissed for lack of authorization when a caller claiming to represent a brokerage firm could not provide verifiable credentials. Without a secure identity verification process, institutions risk invalidating case filings, triggering procedural challenges, and delaying the issuance of a binding arbitration award.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
24/7 Case Coordination
An AI phone agent ensures every call from a party-appointed arbitrator, expert witness, or financial advisor is answered within seconds, even during weekends or non-business hours. For example, a mediation firm in New York used the AI agent to confirm attendance for a pre-hearing conference with a London-based neutral arbitrator at 2:15 a.m. EST, avoiding a 72-hour delay in the procedural order. This resulted in a 30% reduction in average case duration, from 18 months to 12.6 months, as confirmed by internal throughput reports.
Secure & Confidential Handling
The AI agent securely verifies party identity using multi-factor authentication and cross-references authorized representatives against case files before scheduling. In a high-stakes FINRA case involving a $2.3M dispute, the AI confirmed the identity of a party-appointed arbitrator via encrypted digital signature and verified their appointment in the case record, preventing a potential filing defect. This ensures compliance with confidentiality clauses and institutional rules, reducing the risk of case dismissal due to procedural non-compliance.
Faster Case Resolution
By automating follow-ups for procedural orders, pre-hearing conferences, and stipulated settlement deadlines, the AI reduces administrative workload by 40% and ensures all parties are notified within 15 minutes of a scheduling change. In one instance, a firm using the AI agent avoided a default award due to missed deadlines by receiving an automated alert 48 hours before a document submission deadline, allowing for timely filing. This directly supports award enforcement and strengthens case credibility.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost two high-value clients in Q1 2024 because we couldn’t respond to after-hours calls from European parties during pre-hearing conference scheduling. After implementing Answrr, our AI agent confirmed a neutral arbitrator’s availability across time zones and sent automated reminders for procedural orders. In just six months, our case throughput increased by 35%, and we secured a $1.8M settlement in an expedited arbitration case that would’ve otherwise been delayed by 45 days.”

Managing Director, Global Dispute Resolution Group, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“In a recent ICC case involving a U.S. tech firm and a Singaporean supplier, our team was struggling to confirm a party-appointed arbitrator’s identity due to inconsistent documentation. The AI agent verified the representative’s credentials via digital ID and cross-checked them against the ICC case file. This prevented a procedural challenge and allowed us to proceed with the pre-hearing conference on schedule. Our client praised the seamless coordination, and the case settled within 11 months—well under the 18-month average.”
David Park
Senior Case Manager, International Arbitration Practice, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Before Answrr, we missed a critical call from a FINRA-appointed neutral arbitrator at 1:30 a.m. EST, delaying the issuance of a procedural order by three days. Since deploying the AI agent, we’ve automated identity verification, scheduled pre-hearing conferences across 10 time zones, and sent real-time alerts for stipulated settlement deadlines. Our firm now closes 68% of cases before hearing—up from 56% in 2023—thanks to consistent, efficient communication.”
