The High-Stakes Challenge in Mediation & Arbitration
Missed Calls Risk Losing High-Value Cross-Border Arbitration Clients
With 831 new cases registered under ICC Arbitration Rules in 2024—19% involving state or state-owned entities—every unanswered call during non-business hours risks losing a high-stakes client to a competitor with faster response times. In international disputes, where the Seat of arbitration may be in Singapore, Geneva, or Dubai, timely engagement is critical to preserving Party autonomy and initiating the Appointing Authority process. A single missed call from a claimant in the UAE during a 12-hour time lag can delay Tribunal composition and jeopardize the Expedited Procedure timeline, potentially increasing costs by 30% or more.
Delays in Tribunal Appointments Undermine Expedited Procedure Deadlines
In 2024, over 33% of ICC cases involved claims under $3 million, which are prime candidates for Expedited Procedure under Article 27 of the ICC Rules. However, with 577 arbitrators appointed across 120+ jurisdictions, coordinating Tribunal composition—especially when parties are in conflict over the selection of a Neutral Third Party—can take up to 14 days. Without automated intake and scheduling, delays in initial contact can cascade into missed deadlines for the appointment of the Chair, undermining the efficiency that Expedited Procedure is designed to deliver.
Inconsistent Communication Breaks Confidentiality and Settlement Momentum
In Mediation & Arbitration, communication breakdowns directly impact settlement likelihood. When a party fails to receive a timely response—especially after a call to a firm handling a $120 million dispute over infrastructure contracts—confidentiality is compromised, and trust erodes. With 85% of callers who reach voicemail never returning, and many disputes involving Cumulative Jurisdiction (e.g., cross-border contracts with multiple governing laws), delayed follow-up can derail negotiations, particularly when the Neutral Third Party is already scheduled to convene a session within 72 hours.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture More High-Value Cases
A leading London-based arbitration boutique reduced its client intake lag from 48 hours to under 90 minutes using AI-powered intake. The firm now captures 87% of after-hours inquiries from clients in Tokyo, New York, and Johannesburg—critical for cases where the Seat of arbitration is in Paris, requiring immediate procedural steps. This has enabled the firm to secure 14 new ICC cases in Q1 2025, including one involving a state-owned energy provider, where timely response was key to preserving Party autonomy and initiating the Appointing Authority process.
Streamline Tribunal Scheduling
One of the top U.S.-based mediation firms reduced Tribunal composition delays by 62% after implementing AI scheduling. The system automatically collects party preferences, verifies jurisdictional compliance, and initiates the Appointing Authority workflow within 2 hours of a call. This allowed the firm to meet the 10-day deadline for appointing the Chair in 92% of Expedited Procedure cases in 2024—well ahead of the ICC’s average of 18 days. As a result, average case resolution time dropped from 14.3 months to 9.7 months.
Maintain Confidentiality & Professionalism
An international arbitration firm handling disputes in the energy and infrastructure sectors reported zero data breaches in 2024 after switching to an AI answering system with end-to-end encryption and compliance with ICC confidentiality standards. The system ensures that sensitive details—such as the identity of a party in a Cumulative Jurisdiction case involving Swiss, Nigerian, and U.S. law—are never stored in plain text and are only shared with authorized personnel via secure, audit-tracked channels. This has strengthened client trust, especially in high-profile Enforcement of Arbitral Awards cases where confidentiality is paramount.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing international clients because our team couldn’t answer calls from Geneva or Mumbai during off-hours. After implementing Answrr, we captured 23 new cases in Q1 2025—12 of them were cross-border disputes under the ICC Rules, including one involving a $78 million infrastructure contract in Indonesia. The AI remembers prior case details, confirms the Seat of arbitration, and books appointments with our lead arbitrator—all within 5 minutes. Our intake conversion rate jumped from 18% to 41%.”

Managing Director, Global Arbitration & Mediation Group, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Our firm handles high-value disputes with state entities, and every second counts. The AI doesn’t just answer calls—it asks the right questions: 'Is this an Expedited Procedure case?' 'Are you the Claimant or Respondent?' 'What is the Seat of arbitration?' It then routes the inquiry to the correct team and schedules a consultation with our Neutral Third Party within 2 hours. We’ve seen a 55% reduction in missed client touchpoints, and our clients now rate us 4.9/5 for responsiveness.”
Daniel Okoro
Senior Arbitrator & Head of International Disputes, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“We had a 72-hour delay in responding to a claimant in Saudi Arabia, which nearly derailed the Tribunal composition process. Now, Answrr handles calls 24/7, even during Ramadan and global holidays. It confirms the Appointing Authority’s role, verifies party autonomy, and logs all communications in our secure case management system. Since implementation, we’ve completed 18 cases under the Expedited Procedure with zero procedural delays—critical for enforcing arbitral awards under the New York Convention.”
