Our lawyers have extensive experience advising clients on regional and international commercial arbitration matters of all sizes.
JSS Barristers is highly regarded for its practice in alternative dispute resolution by Best Lawyers in Canada, boasting a great deal of experience acting for claimants and respondents in some of the largest arbitral disputes in the province of Alberta, at the ICC, and other international commercial arbitrations, often involving high financial stakes and complex facts and law.
Our lawyers have argued in a wide range of institutional and ad-hoc arbitration settings on international and domestic matters. When going to arbitration, we rely on the extensive knowledge and experience in determining the best strategy and presentation of our client’s arguments.
As counsel, our lawyers have been retained for large, complex, and multi-party arbitrations under the auspices of many international institutions including the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) arising in a variety of contexts, including energy industry disputes, construction claims, and commercial disputes. Our lawyers are called upon to represent our clients from the initiation of the arbitration, through to obtaining the resulting award, and, if necessary, in any domestic enforcement proceedings.
In addition to the international arbitration experience of our lawyers, JSS Barristers is also frequently retained to represent clients in complex domestic commercial disputes.
