When you need to obtain arbitration awards, hearing transcripts, arbitrator decisions, or enforcement filing documentation, having a structured request process is essential. This Arbitration Award and Proceeding Documentation Request Form provides legal professionals, parties to arbitration, attorneys, and compliance officers with a professional way to request critical arbitration documents.

Why Use This Template?

Arbitration proceedings generate substantial documentation—from initial case filings to final awards and enforcement documents. Whether you're a lawyer preparing for enforcement proceedings, a party seeking their arbitration award, or a legal department managing records requests, this form helps you collect all necessary information to process document requests efficiently.

Paperform makes it simple to customize this template to match your firm's branding and specific document management workflows. With conditional logic, you can show or hide fields based on the type of documentation being requested, ensuring requesters only see relevant questions. The form works beautifully on any device, allowing clients and attorneys to submit requests from their office or on the go.

Automate Your Document Request Workflow

Once a request is submitted, you can use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate what happens next. Route requests to the appropriate department, send confirmation emails with estimated turnaround times, update your case management system, create tasks for your records team, and even notify requesters when documents are ready for pickup or download. This eliminates manual handoffs and ensures no request falls through the cracks.

For documents that require signatures upon receipt—such as confidential hearing transcripts or sealed awards—you can integrate Papersign (papersign.com) to send automatic release agreements or confidentiality acknowledgments for eSignature before documents are delivered.
