BLG’s International Arbitration Group members Robert Deane, Craig Chiasson and Paige Burnham contributed the Canada chapter to The Arbitration Review of the Americas 2021 - A Global Arbitration Review Special Report.
The Canada chapter covers the many reasons why Canada is consistently recognized as an arbitration-friendly jurisdiction. Points of discussion include the history of the implementation of the Model Law in Canada, background to the legislative framework for arbitration in Canada's provinces, a list of arbitration groups and institutions throughout Canada, and recent Canadian case law.
