WHY ARBITRATE IN CANADA?

Canada is one of the best places in the world to arbitrate international disputes. Canada’s major urban centres in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver are more convenient, less expensive and more reliable places to conduct arbitrations than many of the world’s traditional centres.

When you join CIARB, you become part of the world’s largest community of dispute resolution professionals.
