We have earned the respect of many of Canada’s leading international businesses by our practice of: i) getting to the heart of the problem; ii) adopting and implementing the arbitration strategy; and iii) minimizing the risk and inconvenience for the client’s business.

We have represented clients in institutional arbitrations before the LCIA, AAA, ICC and other internationally recognized arbitration institutions and have acted in many forms of domestic ad hoc arbitrations. Our litigation group has also defended and enforced arbitration agreements and awards at all levels of the Canadian court system.

Since the Canadian legal system is comprised of two of the world’s greatest legal traditions, the English common law and the French civil law, McCarthy Tétrault’s arbitration team can manage complex arbitrations in English and French, as well as other major international languages, with thorough familiarity of both major legal traditions. Our national litigation software support and team of paralegals is unparalleled in Canada and able to support any type of complex and document-intensive arbitration.

Our arbitration practice also includes advising clients and representing them in all forms of alternative dispute resolution, including principled negotiations, mediation, early neutral intervention, mini-trial or other forms of ADR.

No other Canadian law firm can bring to a complex international arbitration mandate the depth, credibility, legal excellence and advocacy skills of McCarthy Tétrault.
