Preliminary Notes
This Statement of Counterclaim pleads material facts only, elaborating the counterclaim first raised with the Respondent's Answer under Article 6(4) of the ICC Rules of Arbitration (2026). No Rules-level article prescribes this document's content requirements; its content and section order follow the Procedural Order. What the Rules do directly govern: Article 6(4) (counterclaim must be raised with the Answer), Article 6(5) (Claimant's 30-day reply), and Article 25 (new-claims cut-off, applying equally to counterclaims).
There is no elective merge of the Article 6(4) initial counterclaim with this fuller document; they are two distinct filings, as with the Statement of Claim/Request split. The deadline for this document is set by the Procedural Order; no rule-based default applies. The Claimant's reply to the underlying counterclaim is fixed at 30 days from receipt under Article 6(5), running from the Answer stage, not from this document.
Confirm that a counterclaim was in fact raised with the Answer under Article 6(4) before using this template. Without one, this would be a new claim requiring Tribunal authorisation under Article 25.

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.
