Expert witnesses for
AAA-ICDR disputes across
Technology
The ICDR — the international division of the AAA — handled 848 new cases in 2023, representing USD 5 billion in dispute value. The second consecutive year of double-digit growth, it is now one of the world's most active arbitral institutions for cross-border disputes.
Masin provides expert witnesses for AAA-ICDR proceedings across every major sector, with particular depth in technology, construction and financial services — the three leading ICDR caseload categories.

The leading ICDR sector by volume. Software disputes, ERP implementation failures, SaaS contract claims, IP licensing disagreements and technology outsourcing breakdowns. These cases require expert evidence that can make highly technical issues clear and persuasive to a non-technical tribunal.
The second largest ICDR sector. US and international infrastructure projects, EPC contracts, design and build disputes — often involving FIDIC or bespoke agreements. Delay analysis, quantum assessment and defects evidence are the core expert disciplines in these proceedings.
Banking disputes, M&A warranty claims, financial product disagreements and shareholder matters. The ICDR's financial services caseload has grown strongly — expert evidence on valuation, financial loss quantification and market practice is central to most of these cases.
Oil, gas, LNG, renewables and power generation disputes — often with US parties or US-governed contracts. The ICDR administers a dedicated Global Energy Panel of industry specialists, reflecting the volume and complexity of energy disputes in its international caseload.
Pharmaceutical licensing disputes, medical device claims, clinical trial agreements and healthcare contract disagreements. The ICDR handles over 1,000 healthcare cases annually — expert evidence on industry standards, royalty valuations and regulatory compliance is typically the decisive factor.
Real estate development disputes, commercial contract claims and joint venture disagreements. US domestic and cross-border real estate disputes are a consistent part of the ICDR caseload — expert evidence on valuations, construction costs and market conditions is often central.
From instruction
to tribunal-ready
What makes AAA-ICDR different from other forums
The AAA-ICDR is unique in combining the scale and infrastructure of the AAA — the world's largest ADR provider — with international rules designed for cross-border disputes. New York and Miami are the primary venues, with Singapore as the Asia-Pacific gateway. Cases are often expedited given the strong US commercial arbitration culture of resolving disputes efficiently.
