At Aceris Law, we are committed to providing top-tier arbitration legal representation, striving to win every case for our clients while maintaining reasonable, transparent, and predictable fees. International arbitration is time-intensive, typically requiring between 1,000 and 4,000 hours of legal work over 12 to 24 months if the dispute is fiercely contested and not settled amicably. Our work includes conducting in-depth legal research and reviewing factual documents, assisting in the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, negotiating procedural matters and managing procedural correspondence, handling settlement negotiations (if any), drafting multiple written submissions, assisting with expert reports and witness statements, managing document production, preparing for hearings, including cross-examinations and opening statements, and advocating at hearings.
The cost calculator below calculates the capped legal fees Aceris Law offers for commercial, construction, and investor-State arbitrations, in exchange for a modest success fee or uplift component. These capped fees cover all work through to the final award and ensure complete fee transparency from the outset. Unlike many firms, Aceris Law does not limit the number of hours of work in capped-fee arrangements. If the total legal work required falls below the capped amount, clients are only billed for the actual hours worked at a competitive hourly rate. Clients may also opt for purely hourly billing if preferred.
While each case is unique, certain factors increase the time and effort required. First, larger disputes tend to be more fiercely contested, leading to increased legal work. Second, construction and investor-State arbitrations are typically more complex and require more time than purely commercial arbitrations.
