ADR Chambers Named One of Canada’s Top ADR Organization by Canadian Lawyer.

In October 2018, Canadian Lawyer Magazine conducted a survey to determine the Top 3 ADR and Mediation Chambers in Canada. ADR Chambers is proud to have been selected.

Roster Rate Mediation

A time-saving and cost-effective process similar to that outlined for mandatory mediation sessions in the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure. The fees range from $600 to $825 plus HST, depending on the number of parties, and include one-half hour of preparation time for each party and up to three hours of actual mediation.

Expedited Arbitration

ADR Chambers offers fast and inexpensive Expedited Arbitration.

The fixed fee is $7,500 plus HST per party for everything including the arbitrator’s fees, the room rental fees and the administration fees. Fees are lower for In-Writing arbitrations and Final Offer Selection Arbitrations.

There is a fixed time frame so parties know exactly how long the arbitration will take. Arbitrations under the Expedited Arbitration Rules are concluded in under three months from the selection of the arbitrator to the written reasons. Read on…

Participants can see each other online, hear each other, exchange documents and jointly draft settlement agreements. All you need is a computer. We take care of the rest. Read on…
