Overwhelmed by 831 New ICC Arbitration Cases in 2024 – Missed Leads During Critical Intake Windows
With 831 new cases registered under ICC Arbitration Rules in 2024 and a pending cases aggregate value of $354 billion, Mediation & Arbitration firms face intense pressure during high-volume intake periods. Many firms lose high-value leads when calls go unanswered after hours—especially during time-sensitive tribunal composition phases. For instance, a delay in initial contact during the Appointing Authority Rules window can jeopardize the timely appointment of a neutral third-party mediator or the selection of arbitrators under Expedited Procedure Provisions, directly impacting case timelines. This is particularly critical in cross-border enforcement scenarios involving state involvement, where 19% of new ICC cases include states or state-owned entities requiring immediate, neutral engagement.
Delays in Tribunal Composition Due to Cross-Border Coordination and Inconsistent Procedural Rules
Complexities in Tribunal composition—especially in cases involving Substantive Law Application from multiple jurisdictions—often lead to scheduling delays. With ICC arbitrations seated in 107 cities across 62 countries or independent territories, aligning time zones, legal standards, and procedural expectations is a major administrative burden. Firms report that 56% of FINRA cases settle before hearing, but only after months of back-and-forth coordination. In Mediation & Arbitration Services, this delay can derail early-stage mediation efforts, reduce settlement likelihood, and increase legal costs—especially when parties are under pressure to comply with strict procedural timelines set by the International Court of Arbitration.
Erosion of Trust in Mediation Due to Perceived Lack of Neutrality in State-Involving Cases
When 19% of ICC cases involve states or state-owned entities, parties often question the neutrality of the process. A lack of consistent, professional engagement during initial intake can amplify these concerns. Without a neutral third-party mediator who adheres strictly to Appointing Authority Rules and Expedited Procedure Provisions, parties may perceive bias or procedural inconsistency—especially when the AI or human receptionist fails to maintain impartiality in tone, timing, or information handling. This undermines confidence in the mediation process, leading to higher resistance to settlement and increased risk of protracted arbitration.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture Every Case Inquiry
An AI answering service captures every inquiry—24/7, across time zones—ensuring no high-value lead is lost during critical intake windows. For example, a firm handling an investment arbitration case involving a state-owned entity in Dubai received a call at 2:15 AM GMT. The AI answered, recorded the client’s concern about a breach of contract under the UNCITRAL Model Law, and scheduled a preliminary mediation session within 12 hours—well within the 14-day window required by the Expedited Procedure Provisions. This resulted in a 40% increase in case intake and a 28% faster time-to-appointment compared to previous months.
Automate Tribunal Appointment Scheduling
Automate tribunal appointment scheduling with real-time sync across Cal.com, Calendly, and GoHighLevel using natural language commands like 'Book a 30-minute mediation session with the lead mediator next Tuesday at 2 PM, including the client from Singapore and the arbitrator in Geneva.' The AI verifies availability across time zones, checks for conflicts with Appointing Authority Rules, and confirms participation—reducing administrative workload by up to 65%. In one case, a firm reduced tribunal appointment scheduling time from 4.2 hours per case to under 15 minutes, enabling faster deployment of a neutral third-party mediator and accelerating the mediation timeline by an average of 22 days.
Maintain Neutrality with AI Precision
Maintain strict neutrality by ensuring the AI follows Appointing Authority Rules and Expedited Procedure Provisions with zero bias. For example, in a cross-border dispute between a German construction firm and a Saudi state-owned entity, the AI handled 14 initial inquiries over 72 hours—answering in both English and Arabic, documenting all parties’ positions without favor, and routing only qualified leads to the legal team with full context. This consistency helped preserve trust in the process, leading to a 33% increase in mediation participation from state-involved parties and a 50% reduction in procedural objections during tribunal composition.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing critical leads during off-hours—especially during the 14-day window to appoint a neutral third-party mediator under ICC Appointing Authority Rules. After implementing Answrr, we captured 92% of after-hours inquiries. In one case, we secured a high-stakes investment arbitration involving a state-owned utility in Brazil within 18 hours of the initial call. The AI handled time-zone coordination, scheduled the first mediation session, and passed full context to our team—resulting in a 40% increase in case intake and a 25% faster time-to-appointment. This is now our standard for all cross-border disputes.”

Managing Director, Global Mediation & Arbitration Group, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Before Answrr, our lead mediator spent 3–4 hours per week manually coordinating appointments across five time zones for cases under the ICC International Centre for ADR. Now, the AI handles all scheduling using natural language, syncs with our Calendly and GoHighLevel calendars, and ensures compliance with Expedited Procedure Provisions. In a recent case involving a $120M construction dispute between a U.S. firm and a UAE state entity, we scheduled the first mediation session in under 90 minutes—well before the 30-day deadline. The client praised the precision and neutrality of the process. This has become essential for our international caseload.”
Daniel Reeves
Lead Mediator, International Dispute Resolution Practice, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“In a recent investment arbitration case under the ICSID framework, timing was critical—parties had just 10 days to submit their initial statements after tribunal composition. The AI answered a call from a client in Tokyo at 1:30 AM JST, recorded the request, and booked a 90-minute mediation session with our senior arbitrator in Geneva, confirming availability across all time zones. The entire process—from call to appointment—was completed in 7 hours. The AI also documented the client’s concerns under Substantive Law Application (English law), which helped us prepare a stronger case. This level of responsiveness is now a competitive advantage.”
