globalresolutions.com
President Paul Torrie founded Global Resolutions in 1996, and its panel has since grown to seven seasoned members, all of whom were leading senior counsel before joining. The firm offers dispute resolution services across Canada, working primarily on multi-party, multi-faceted cases in the commercial
and insurance fields. It has been involved in the resolution of class action disputes involving land claims,
business interruption, financial services, E. coli outbreaks, and sexual abuse. The recent addition of Gord
Kirke to its panel has expanded its expertise in the areas of sports and entertainment. One Bay Streeter

International dispute resolution giant JAMS entered the Canadian market in
2012 as part of an international expansion that has taken the company to a
total of 25 locations around the world. Four of JAMS��� 300 neutrals are based
in Canada���s largest city, including former Federal Court of Appeal justice
Edgar Sexton and former CRTC chairman Konrad von Finckenstein. Its
7,000-square-foot facility in downtown Toronto includes more than 10 conference and break-out rooms and a business centre for clients.
Neeson Arbitration
Chambers (Toronto)
neesonchambers.com
Senior court reporter Kim Neeson
founded the company in 2010 after
identifying a hole in the market for
neutral office spaces for former judges
and litigators looking to establish
themselves in the alternative dispute
resolution field. Flexibility and independence for panel members are key
to NAC���s success, says Neeson. Its eight
members include energy and infrastructure arbitrator Gord Kaiser and
former Ontario Superior Court justice
Douglas Cunningham, who chaired the
Mississauga Judicial Inquiry. ���Seasoned,
senior, calm, and focused practitioners
who have earned their spurs��� earned
them top marks from one voter.
