Complex multi-party litigation.

I am a lawyer, mediator and arbitrator. I have been involved in Alternative Dispute Resolution since 1987. I have over forty years of experience resolving conflicts as a trial and appeal lawyer involved in civil litigation. I have tried and resolved virtually all types of civil disputes. I have a great deal of experience in insurance cases, multi-party disputes, personal injury, medical negligence, product liability, professional negligence, tort claims, commercial/business disputes, media law including defamation and some aspects of First Nations law. I am also a Chartered Arbitrator.

I have been the Chair for the court appointed referees and arbitrators for the Hepatitis C Class Action Litigation (1986-1990).

Professional affiliations include the ADR Institute of Canada, ADRBC, VanIAC and the Canadian Academy of Distinguished Neutrals (CADN) website accessible at BCMediators.org or Mediators.ca. to access on-line digital calendar.
