Alternate Dispute Resolution/
Arbitration/Mediation

Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) is a phrase that refers to the process of attempting to resolve disputes outside of the courts. This can be done even if a court case has been started. The most well known of these alternatives are arbitration and mediation. All of the Taylor MacLellan Cochrane litigation lawyers are knowledgeable about and advise clients regarding arbitration and mediation as an alternative to the court process. In addition, we constantly attempt to assist clients in solving problems and disputes by a process that is not as costly and does not take as long as the courts.

In addition, Taylor MacLellan Cochrane is fortunate to be able to offer you the services of Jim Dewar, Q.C., one of the most senior and experienced ADR lawyers in Nova Scotia.

In addition, he has participated in a number of training courses, in the US, Ontario and British Columbia. Jim has also been involved in conducting extensive training in Nova Scotia and Ontario in the area of mediation.

Jim's services are available to Taylor MacLellan Cochrane clients to represent them as they go through the arbitration and mediation process. In addition, Jim's services are available through Taylor MacLellan Cochrane to act as a mediator or arbitrator in a wide range of disputes. Jim has experience in commercial and general business arbitration and mediation. He has also broad experience in personal injury, general dispute, estate and family mediation.
