Mediation often plays a constructive role in the resolution of civil disputes.  DJA lawyers have wide experience as counsel in mediations and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.  We have worked successfully with mediators locally, from across Canada and from the United States in individual, multi-party and class actions.

We draw on that experience in advising on the optimal timing for mediation, the selection of mediator and the framing of issues for mediation.

The senior partners of DJA also are called upon to act as mediators in commercial cases and utilize their knowledge and experience in assisting parties and their counsel in fashioning mutually satisfactory outcomes.

As counsel in mediations and as mediators, DJA lawyers are creative and effective problem-solvers.
