Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the dispute, the institution, and whether expedited procedures apply. An expedited ICC case may resolve in 6–9 months. Standard ICC proceedings typically take 12–18 months. Complex, multi-party cases can extend to 24 months or more. We work to optimize timelines without sacrificing thoroughness.

Costs include institutional fees, arbitrator fees, legal fees, and expert/witness costs. Institutional fee schedules (ICC, ICDR) are publicly available and based on the amount in dispute. We provide detailed budgets and phased cost projections at the outset of every engagement.
