The High-Stakes Case Delays
Missed Calls Risk Violation of Expedited Procedure Provisions and Tribunal Composition Deadlines
With 831 new cases registered under ICC Arbitration Rules in 2024 and 61 new requests filed with the ICC International Centre for ADR, timely client engagement is critical. A single missed call during the 14-day window for appointing an arbitrator under the Appointing Authority Rules can trigger delays in Tribunal composition, jeopardizing compliance with Expedited Procedure Provisions. For high-stakes cases involving state involvement—19% of new ICC cases included states or state-owned entities—failure to respond within 24 hours may be viewed as a lack of procedural efficiency, undermining party autonomy and potentially affecting enforcement of arbitral awards.
Inconsistent Communication Undermines Neutral Third-Party Mediator Credibility
In mediation, early and consistent communication is essential to build trust and encourage settlement. Yet, when parties receive delayed or inconsistent responses—especially during critical pre-hearing phases—mediators risk losing credibility. With 56% of FINRA cases settling before hearing, the window for early intervention is narrow. A delayed response to a request for a neutral third-party mediator can cause parties to disengage, particularly when the arbitration seat is in a jurisdiction with strict procedural timelines, such as Singapore or Geneva, where procedural efficiency is closely scrutinized.
Scheduling Delays in Tribunal Appointment Compromise Arbitration Seat Integrity
Delays in securing qualified arbitrators—especially in complex cross-border disputes involving 136 jurisdictions—can disrupt the Tribunal composition timeline. When 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return, critical scheduling windows are missed, particularly during the 7-day period required to appoint a sole arbitrator under ICC Rules. This delay can compromise the perceived neutrality of the process, especially in cases with state involvement, where procedural efficiency is not just a matter of convenience but a factor in the enforceability of the final award.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture More Cases
Our AI answering service captures 95% of inbound inquiries within 15 seconds, even during off-hours—critical for firms managing high-volume ICC arbitrations. For example, a mediation firm in London reduced lead conversion time from 3 days to under 2 hours after implementing real-time AI call handling, directly supporting their ability to meet the 14-day deadline for appointing an arbitrator under the Appointing Authority Rules. This ensures compliance with procedural efficiency standards and strengthens the firm’s reputation in international dispute resolution.
Streamline Tribunal Scheduling
The AI system automatically schedules tribunal appointments by syncing with legal calendars and flagging conflicts, reducing administrative delays by up to 40%. In one case, a firm handling a $120M construction dispute under the ICC Rules avoided a 21-day delay in hearing scheduling by using AI to coordinate with three arbitrators across different time zones. The system also logs every interaction with GDPR-compliant audit trails, ensuring full transparency for enforcement of arbitral awards under the New York Convention.
Ensure Procedural Efficiency
By routing calls through a secure, neutral AI interface with natural voice recognition, the system maintains impartiality and confidentiality—critical in cases involving State involvement or sensitive commercial disputes. The AI remembers prior case types, jurisdictional preferences, and party history, enabling personalized responses that align with party autonomy principles. For example, a firm in Zurich used the system to pre-qualify 120 mediation requests in Q1 2024, reducing onboarding time by 50% and increasing client satisfaction scores by 37%.

Lena Petrova
Managing Director, Global ADR Solutions, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“In a recent state-involved arbitration involving a sovereign wealth fund, we were required to respond within 24 hours to maintain procedural efficiency. The AI answered the call at 1:17 a.m., collected the client’s jurisdictional preferences, and auto-scheduled a consultation with our lead mediator—without human intervention. This saved us 18 hours in administrative time and ensured we met the Appointing Authority Rules deadline.”
Daniel Okoye
Senior Mediator, Cross-Border Dispute Group, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Our clients are often in high-pressure situations—especially when the arbitration seat is in a strict jurisdiction like Paris or New York. The AI’s natural voice and ability to handle complex queries about Tribunal composition or enforcement of arbitral awards made them feel supported. One client even said they thought they were speaking to a real paralegal. That level of professionalism is essential in maintaining trust in neutral third-party mediation.”
