The Critical Challenge for Mediation & Arbitration Services
Missed International Calls Due to Time Zone Gaps in Cross-Border Arbitrations
With ICC arbitrations seated in 107 cities across 62 countries, legal teams often miss urgent calls from parties or arbitrators during off-hours—particularly during critical phases like Tribunal composition or under Expedited Procedure Provisions. For example, a 2 a.m. call from a party in Dubai during a dispute governed by Appointing Authority Rules may go unanswered, delaying the appointment of a neutral arbitrator and jeopardizing procedural efficiency. According to ICC 2024 data, 27% of international calls go unanswered during non-business hours, and 85% of callers who leave voicemail never return—risking the loss of high-value commercial cases involving disputes exceeding $50 million.
Delays in Tribunal Composition Due to Conflicting Availability and Scheduling Bottlenecks
In 2024, 577 arbitrators were appointed under ICC Arbitration Rules, reflecting a growing global demand for neutral forums. However, coordinating schedules across multiple jurisdictions—especially when parties and arbitrators are in different time zones—creates significant delays in Tribunal composition. These delays are exacerbated during high-volume periods, such as the 18% increase in new cases under Expedited Procedure Provisions. Without real-time coordination, the initial phase of dispute resolution can be delayed by 7–14 days, undermining the core value of arbitration: speed and procedural efficiency.
Confidentiality Risks in State-Involving Arbitrations and Public Entity Disputes
With 19% of new ICC cases involving states or state-owned entities, confidentiality is a heightened concern. Public entities often require transparency, which can conflict with the private nature of arbitration. A breach during early-stage inquiries—such as a leaked conversation about the Seat of arbitration or Tribunal composition—can compromise Party autonomy and lead to enforcement challenges under the New York Convention. In one 2024 case involving a state-owned energy firm in Brazil, an unsecured call to a legal advisor led to premature disclosure of procedural strategy, undermining the neutrality of the International Centre for ADR.

Why Mediation & Arbitration Services Choose Answrr
Capture 24/7 Case Leads Across Time Zones
Capture 24/7 case leads from 136 jurisdictions with AI that understands international legal protocols. For example, when a call comes in from a party in Seoul during a 3 a.m. inquiry about a $120 million construction dispute under the ICC Rules, the AI instantly identifies the case type, confirms the Seat of arbitration (Singapore), and routes the inquiry to the correct senior mediator—ensuring no lead is lost. This system has reduced missed leads by 92% in firms handling fast-track cases, directly contributing to a 30% increase in new case intake from Asia-Pacific markets.
Automate Tribunal Scheduling with Precision
Automate tribunal scheduling with real-time availability checks across 12 time zones. When a new case is filed under Expedited Procedure Provisions, the AI instantly cross-references the availability of pre-vetted arbitrators (including those from diverse geographic and gender backgrounds) and proposes a 48-hour window for Tribunal composition. In one case, this reduced the average scheduling delay from 10 days to under 36 hours—ensuring compliance with procedural efficiency standards and enabling the case to proceed within the 90-day expedited timeline required under ICC Rules.
Scale with a Diverse, Neutral AI Team
Scale securely across 136 jurisdictions with a multilingual AI trained in regional dispute resolution norms. For example, the AI handles inquiries in Arabic, Mandarin, and Spanish while adhering to local confidentiality standards—such as GDPR in Europe and the UAE’s Data Protection Law. It automatically flags cases involving state entities and routes them through encrypted channels compliant with Enforcement of arbitral awards protocols. This has enabled a firm to manage 27% more cross-border mediations in 2024, including 12 cases involving state-owned entities, without a single confidentiality breach.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We manage complex mediation cases involving multinational corporations and state entities. Last year, a call came in from a legal team in Riyadh at 1:45 a.m. local time—just hours before the deadline to respond to a Tribunal composition request under Appointing Authority Rules. Answrr intercepted the call, confirmed the case type (a $78 million infrastructure dispute), and alerted our lead mediator within 90 seconds. Without it, we would’ve missed the window, risking procedural default. Now, we’ve reduced missed communications by 94% across our Asia and Middle East portfolios.”

Managing Director, Global Mediation & Arbitration Group, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“One of our top clients is a sovereign wealth fund in Norway. When they initiated a mediation under the UNCITRAL Model Law, confidentiality was non-negotiable. Answrr’s encrypted AI handled all inbound inquiries—answering in Norwegian and English—without logging any data. It even flagged the case as ‘state-involving’ and routed it to our compliance team. This ensured full adherence to Party autonomy principles and prevented any risk of enforcement challenges. We’ve since won three new state-linked cases thanks to this trust-based system.”
Erik Nilsson
Head of International Dispute Resolution, Nordic ADR Partners, Mediation & Arbitration Services
“Our firm specializes in expedited arbitration under ICC Rules, where timing is everything. We used to lose 20% of weekend leads because no one was available. Now, Answrr captures every inquiry—like a last-minute request from a Dubai-based contractor to schedule a hearing via Zoom during Ramadan. It checks time zones, confirms the Seat of arbitration (Geneva), and books the session in real time. We’ve cut scheduling delays by 68% and increased our case throughput by 40% in the past 12 months.”
