As a Chartered Mediator (C.Med) and Chartered Arbitrator (C.Arb) and the first person in Canada to receive the Chartered Med-Arb (C. Med-Arb) designation from the ADR Institute of Canada, I assist clients and counsel in resolving disputes through fair, efficient, and practical processes.

My practice spans civil disputes, including corporate and commercial matters, condominium and real estate (including Tarion), estates, employment and insurance (excluding personal injury). I also bring experience in construction, workplace, family, multi-party, municipal infrastructure, and alternative energy/land use disputes.

I adapt my mediation style—from facilitative to evaluative—to meet the specific needs of each case and the preferences of the parties involved. I also advocate for med-arb, where appropriate, as an integrated process that combines the flexibility of mediation with the finality of arbitration. In both med-arb and arbitration, I focus on designing and managing evidence-based procedures that are fair, efficient, and proportional to the dispute.

In addition to my practice, I frequently speak on ADR at webinars, conferences, and continuing education programs. I have designed ADR courses for Ontario colleges, taught at Queen’s University Faculty of Law, and co-authored ODR Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow, the first Canadian book published on Online Dispute Resolution.
