I help counsel and their clients resolve disputes through fair, efficient, and practical mediation. I am a Chartered Mediator (C.Med), 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 adapt my mediation approach—from facilitative to evaluative—to the dispute and the preferences of parties and counsel, helping them assess options, work through barriers to settlement, and reach practical settlements.

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

I also offer arbitration and, where appropriate, med-arb, with fair, efficient procedures proportionate to each dispute.

I regularly speak on ADR and am a regular contributor to the Slaw legal blog. 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 on online dispute resolution.
