Centro de Arbitraje

What Centro de Arbitraje does

Centro de Arbitraje (legally Centro Nacional e Internacional de Arbitraje de la Cámara de Comercio de Lima) is a Peruvian arbitration administration institution founded in 1993 and operated as a division of the Lima Chamber of Commerce. Headquartered in Jesús María, Lima, it administers national and international commercial arbitrations, Dispute Resolution Boards (JRD / Dispute Boards) for construction and infrastructure projects, and emergency arbitrator proceedings, serving contracting parties in construction, energy and hydrocarbons, financial services, international trade, and public procurement. The institution operates under Peru's Legislative Decree No. 1071 and Law No. 30225, the latter mandating JRDs for state contracts exceeding S/. 20 million.

The center's service model is built around three core product lines: traditional Arbitration (Arbitraje), Dispute Boards (JRD/DB), and the Arbitraje Online (AOL) digital platform launched in 2023, supplemented by the Faro de Transparencia transparency tool. Underlying technology is a digital case management platform with a Virtual Parts Desk (Mesa de Partes Virtual), electronic document submission, hearing management, and a fee calculator. The institution is supported by approximately 470 national and international arbitrators and adjudicators on its 2024-2027 roster and holds three ISO certifications (9001:2015, 37001:2016, 27001:2022). It has administered over 9,500 arbitrations cumulatively and maintains 35+ institutional cooperation agreements with global arbitration bodies (AAA, HKIAC, SIAC, CIETAC, VIAC, DRBF, CIAC, CIAM, CIAR) and 9 Peruvian regional chambers of commerce.

The business model is transaction-based: revenue is generated primarily through arbitration case administration fees (filing, administrative, and arbitrator honoraria tied to claim value), separate JRD/DB fee schedules, emergency arbitrator fees, and secondary revenue from courses, training events, and publications. The center is governed by a Superior Council of Arbitration (2024-2026 cycle), operates with approximately 17-20 arbitration secretaries plus administrative staff, and does not publicly disclose revenue figures. Pricing schedules are publicly available but specific fee structures vary by service line and matter complexity.
