Statistical comparison report of the key arbitration institutions

Parties face a number of choices in arbitration: governing law, seat, choice of institution and likely constitution of the tribunal.  These decisions ultimately determine the procedural process and conduct of any future arbitration. We have compared how arbitration users around the world have made those choices in international commercial disputes currently before major arbitral institutions – the ICC, LCIA, SIAC, HKIAC and the ICDR. Countries and nationalities have been colour-coded in the charts below for ease of comparison.
