What Is ICC Arbitration?
The ICC International Court of Arbitration, based in Paris, is the world’s most widely used arbitral institution. It administers disputes under the ICC Rules of Arbitration and, uniquely, scrutinizes every draft award before it is issued. As a result, ICC awards enjoy a strong reputation with enforcing courts around the world.

ICC Rules, Costs, and Timeline

ICC Arbitration FAQ
How much does ICC arbitration cost?
Fees scale with the amount in dispute under the ICC’s published schedule. Therefore, we model the likely costs before you file and structure fee arrangements that fit the claim.
How long does an ICC case take?
A standard case typically runs 18 to 30 months. Instead, the expedited procedure can conclude in about six months for qualifying claims.
Do I need an ICC arbitration lawyer for a smaller claim?
Yes. In fact, the expedited rules make counsel even more important, because a compressed schedule leaves no room for missteps.
