What the ICDT is

A credible institutional framework for international commercial proceedings.

The ICDT provides the institutional administration structure for complex international commercial arbitrations and multi-party proceedings managed through TheNeutrals.ORG™. It provides parties with a recognised, independent, procedurally rigorous framework — without the cost and formality of the largest international institutions.

The ICDT operates under the TheNeutrals.ORG™ Governance Framework and Code of Ethical Conduct. All ICDT proceedings are administered by certified neutrals, subject to conflict-of-interest protocols, and enforceable under the New York Convention in 164 countries.

Who uses the ICDT

Complex matters that need institutional structure.

The ICDT is not the right structure for every dispute. It is designed for matters where the complexity, value, or multi-party nature of the dispute requires institutional administration rather than ad hoc appointment.

Multi-party commercial disputes

Three or more parties with overlapping claims and defences — joint ventures, supply chains, construction projects — where consolidated administration is essential.

High-value international arbitrations

Cross-border disputes where parties need institutional credibility, procedural rigour, and New York Convention enforceability.

Sector-specialist proceedings

Complex disputes in banking, construction, energy, or technology where the ICDT assigns certified neutrals with verified sector depth.

Emergency and expedited matters

Time-critical disputes requiring emergency arbitrator appointment or expedited proceedings within defined timelines.

Corporations with ADR clause obligations

Parties whose commercial contracts specify institutional arbitration — the ICDT provides the institutional framework without legacy cost structures.

Post-INDS™ evaluation proceedings

Disputes where INDS™ evaluation has established the picture and parties have chosen institutional arbitration as the resolution pathway.
