About the LCIA

The LCIA is one of the leading international institutions for commercial dispute resolution. Its organisation, operation, outlook and services are worldwide, in the fields of arbitration, mediation and other forms of ADR.

The LCIA has access to the most eminent and experienced arbitrators, mediators and experts from many jurisdictions, and with the widest range of expertise. The LCIA's dispute resolution services are available to all contracting parties, without any membership requirements.

In order to ensure cost-effective services, the LCIA’s administrative charges, and the fees charged by the tribunals it appoints, are not based on sums in issue. A registration fee is payable with the Request for Arbitration and, thereafter, hourly rates are applied by the arbitrators and by the LCIA. (See schedule of costs for full details.)
