Preliminary Notes
This Statement of Claim is drafted for the Standard track. Where the parties have opted into Highly Expedited Arbitration (Article 33; Appendix VI), a merged Request for Arbitration and Statement of Claim applies instead, filed as a single document. There is no elective mechanism under the Standard track for the Claimant to treat its Request for Arbitration as this Statement of Claim; they are always two distinct documents filed at two distinct procedural stages.
The filing deadline for this Statement of Claim is fixed by the Tribunal's Procedural Order No. 1, issued following the initial case management conference (which Article 24 requires to take place within 30 days of transmission of the file to the Tribunal). No default filing deadline is prescribed by the Rules themselves.
Confirm the applicable filing deadline under the governing Procedural Order before filing.
Expedited Procedure. The Expedited Procedure (Article 32; Appendix V) applies automatically where the amount in dispute does not exceed the EPP Threshold Amount fixed by Appendix V, Article 1(3): US$2,000,000 for arbitration agreements concluded on or after 1 March 2017 and before 1 January 2021; US$3,000,000 for agreements concluded on or after 1 January 2021 and before 1 June 2026; and US$4,000,000 for agreements concluded on or after 1 June 2026. It also applies where the parties agree to opt in (Article 1(2)(b)), and does not apply where the arbitration agreement predates 1 March 2017, the parties opt out, or the Court considers it inappropriate (Article 1(4)).
Confirm the date the arbitration agreement was concluded, not only the amount in dispute, before assuming the Expedited Procedure applies.
Case Management Conference. Per the ICC Note to Parties and Arbitral Tribunals (2026), the initial case management conference addresses matters including: identification of contested issues in light of submissions filed to date; guidance on further submissions and evidence; narrowing of disputed issues by agreement; reassessment of settlement or mediation; bifurcation; outstanding document production requests; and whether post-hearing briefs or closing statements will be required. This Statement of Claim should be drafted with these matters in view.

Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
