I collaborate with clients and counsel in mediation, med-arb, and arbitration to provide practical solutions for managing and resolving disputes in a timely and cost-efficient manner. My work focuses on dispute resolution in areas such as corporate, commercial, condominium, estates, insurance (non-personal injury), and real estate (including Tarion disputes). I have also mediated and arbitrated other types of disputes, including construction, workplace, employment, family, multi-party, municipal infrastructure, and alternative energy/land use.

My mediation style varies from facilitative to evaluative, depending on the circumstances of the case and the preferences of the parties and their counsel. I advocate for the use of med-arb as an integrated dispute resolution process in appropriate cases. In both med-arb and arbitration, my emphasis is on designing and managing a fair and efficient evidence-based process that is proportional to the dispute at hand. 

I frequently speak about ADR at webinars, conferences, and continuing education programs. I have also designed courses and programs for various colleges in Ontario. Additionally, I have served as a part-time faculty member teaching ADR in the law school at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and I am the co-author of ODR Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow., the first book on Online Dispute Resolution in Canada.
