Arbitration
We are proud to have acted as arbitration counsel to some of Canada’s leading companies, as well as to international and multinational corporations with interests in Canada.
Our arbitration lawyers have extensive experience in all aspects of domestic and international commercial arbitration, including:
- initial negotiations and dispute commencement, including negotiation of terms of reference to establish an effective and efficient process;
- document requests & the discovery process, including large document-intense matters involving millions or tens of millionsof records;
- working with expert witnesses, including the identification and selection of leading technical subject matter experts from around the world;
- the arbitral hearing, including virtual hearings and complex multi-party procedure; and
- the post-award enforcement process, including recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards in Canadian courts.
Our team of arbitration counsel is well-versed in the rules and procedures of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), UNCITRAL, AAA, the ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC) and the International Bar Association (IBA) and we have been counsel in many ad hoc arbitrations. We have an established track record of success in these forums and are committed to providing our clients with the best possible outcomes.
We have accepted appointments to sit as arbitrators on commercial arbitrations, and we have testified as expert witnesses on Canadian law in foreign arbitral proceedings.
We are dedicated to achieving our clients' objectives in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Our lawyers have extensive experience arbitrating commercial disputes across Canada, and have the expertise and depth to handle complex, multi-party claims at any scale.
