HEARING CENTRE  www.icchearingcentre.orgIn response to growing demand from the business and legal communities, ICC opened a dedicated facility for arbitration hearings and other forms of commercial dispute resolution in October 2008. Located next to Trocadero in Paris, it is the first facility of its kind. With over 800m2, it is composed of 10 meeting rooms of various sizes custom built to the highest specifications.

The ICC Hearing Centre is available for any kind of institutional or ad hoc arbitration hearings as well as for the conduct of amicable dispute resolution (ADR) procedures and business meetings. The ICC Hearing Centre welcomes hearings from the World Bank, the Permanent Court of Arbitration and other institutional and ad hoc arbitration hearings as well as ICC Arbitration hearings. For business meetings, seminars and trainings, the Hearing Centre is the ideal venue in Paris.
