Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey

This Costs of International Arbitration Survey is collecting information on the costs of international commercial arbitration proceedings. The aim is to gather data which will inform parties, legal representatives, and arbitrators about the overall costs of international commercial arbitration. It is also gathering data about how those costs are made up, the allocation of costs by arbitrators and the extent to which these may depend upon the nature of the dispute, the seat of arbitration, the amount in dispute, the composition of the arbitral tribunal and the costs incurred prior to, and during, the arbitration.

The findings will be analysed and disseminated through a report and a conference, organised by CIArb, which will take place on 27 – 28 September 2011 in London, England.
