Why LIACourt
What Sets LIACourt Apart
We combine institutional credibility with the agility and responsiveness that international parties demand. Our model rests on four fundamental principles that guide every proceeding we administer.
Institutional Independence
LIACourt operates without any governmental, political or commercial interference. Each tribunal is constituted based on the merits of the case.
Global Panel of Experts
Our panel includes arbitrators, mediators and legal professionals from more than 40 jurisdictions, covering commercial, construction, energy, finance and technology.
Absolute Confidentiality
All proceedings, documents and decisions under LIACourt rules are strictly confidential. The digital portal applies role-based access controls throughout the process.
Procedural Efficiency
Our rules are designed to deliver final awards within defined timeframes. For disputes requiring rapid resolution, expedited procedures are available with an award in 90 days.

Request for Arbitration
The claimant submits a Request for Arbitration to the LIACourt Secretariat, together with the registration fee and supporting documents.

The parties exchange written submissions, evidence and expert reports through the secure portal. Hearings are held in person or by video conference.
03
Final Award
The tribunal deliberates and renders a final award, binding and internationally enforceable, delivered to all parties and counsel through the secure portal.
