Global Resolutions was founded in 1996 by Paul Torrie. Its panel consists of 12 members who specialize in mediating
multi-party, multi-faceted cases in commercial, insurance, and estate matters. Global has been involved in the resolu-
tion of class actions and mass torts covering land claims, business interruption, financial services, E. coli outbreaks,
sexual assault, and product liability. The recent additions of Kathleen Urdahl, Ted Ayers, and Leanne Andree have
expanded its expertise in municipal liability and long-term disability.
Voters gave them top marks for "excellent mediation style, excellent results."
International dispute resolution giant JAMS entered the Canadian market in 2012 as part of an international expan-
sion that has taken the company to a total of 30 locations around the world. Seven of JAMS 300-plus neutrals are
based in Canada's largest city, including former Federal Court of Appeal justices Edgar Sexton and Judith Snider and
former CRTC chairman Konrad von Finckenstein. The practice focuses on complex, multi-party disputes and special-
izes in energy, intellectual property, and business/commercial matters. The 7,000-square-foot facility in downtown
Toronto includes nine conference and break-out rooms and a business centre for clients.
Voters recommended JAMS for "great client contact" and "reputation and success."
