Arbitration - Domestic and International

The Goodmans Arbitration Group acts in ad hoc and institutional domestic and international arbitrations across a broad spectrum of industries and sectors, including major cross-border disputes in construction & infrastructure, technology, mining, energy, financial services & banking, transportation, hospitality, and retail. We have represented clients in arbitrations seated in many jurisdictions, across Canada and elsewhere, always using every available tool creatively and to our clients’ advantage. Clients that have become embroiled in a series of arbitral disputes have returned to us repeatedly for strategic advice and representation – our favourite vote of confidence.

We have conducted arbitrations under all the major international arbitral rules, including the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), London Court of Arbitration (LCIA), United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), and Vancouver International Arbitration Centre (VanIAC). We have also conducted arbitrations under all the major domestic institutional rules (for example, ICDR Canada, ADRIC, and ADR Chambers).

Our lawyers are also plugged in to the Canadian and international communities and carefully track arbitration developments and evolving best practices across the globe, including by obtaining sought-after arbitration credentials. We sit on various arbitration groups, centres and boards across Canada, the US, and internationally. We also regularly write and lecture on domestic and international arbitration topics.

Members of our group also act as mediators and arbitrators in complex disputes and are listed on the rosters of several arbitral organizations, including Arbitration Place, ICDR Canada, and the American Arbitration Association (AAA).
