ADR Chambers was founded in 1995 by Brian Wheatley and Glenn MacPherson as a group of senior lawyers and retired judges who
conducted mediations and arbitrations. In 2004, it merged with the Stitt Feld Handy Group, with Allan Stitt assuming the position of
president. The company now has a panel of 67 neutrals across Canada who will administer thousands of arbitrations in 2013. ADR
Chambers has its own set of arbitration rules, and has recently introduced a streamlined and less expensive expedited arbitration process. Its arbitrators ���are among the most experienced and skilled available,��� said one Bay Street lawyer.

Founded by ASAP Reporting Services��� Kimberley Stewart in April 2012,
Arbitration Place is now home to 14 independent arbitrators. The six
residents include international arbitrator Yves Fortier, former Supreme
Court of Canada justice Ian Binnie, and Coulter Osborne, once
Ontario���s associate chief justice. The impressive roster puts Arbitration
Place ���in a class by itself,��� said one voter. ���They have done a lot in the
past year to promote arbitration, and, more specifically, to promote
Toronto as a seat for international arbitration.��� On-site court reporting,
simultaneous translation, and around-the-clock technical support are
among the services offered at its Bay Adelaide Centre headquarters.
Bay Street Chambers was founded in July 2012 by J.
Brian Casey and Janet Mills, senior barristers practising
as arbitrators and mediators in international and domestic commercial disputes. Casey���s 37 years in practice
include a stint as head of the Baker & McKenzie disputes
group in Canada, while Mills practised commercial
litigation for 17 years before sitting as a registrar in
bankruptcy. Supported by a case manager, each member
practises independently. ���Very experienced . . . with a
pragmatic approach,��� said one voter.
