Arbitration/Mediation
BDO professionals have 75 years of broad-based business experience. Many of our professionals have taken specific courses in negotiation and dispute resolution, and possess accreditation offered by the Arbitration and Mediation Institute of Ontario. Our objective approach, diverse backgrounds, contacts, financial expertise and negotiation skills make us excellent mediators and arbitrators.
The benefits of using Arbitration and Mediation Services
Arbitration and mediation are faster solution methods. Many disputes, which could normally take several months or years in court, can be settled within weeks instead.
While a judge is an expert in law, but not in your particular field, at BDO, you can select your mediator or arbitrator from among many professionals with experience in a variety of industries and specialty fields, such as finance, commerce, civil contracts, partnership agreements and insurance.
Knowledge about your business or personal affairs becomes public in a courtroom. Arbitration and mediation proceedings, on the other hand, are private, thus allowing you to avoid the spotlight.
Both arbitration and mediation may be considerably less expensive and time-consuming. The back-log in many courtrooms, combined with continuous legal appearances in courts, can create high expenses and require a lot of time.
