Corporate members are an important part of the ADR Institute of Canada (or “ADRIC”)  membership. In fact, ADRIC was formed from a merger of the Canadian Foundation for Dispute Resolution (CFDR) an organization with corporate alternative dispute resolution (ADR) end-user members, and the Arbitrators and Mediators Institute of Canada (AMIC), which was an organization of ADR practitioners, in August 2000.

The long-term commitment of our supporters contributes to the importance of ADR in our legal system, the dispute-resolution alternatives that lawyers present to clients and the manner in which businesses operate and resolve disputes. Our corporate members provide us with important perspectives on the needs of individuals and organizations.

Current Sustaining Corporate Members:

Why ADRIC?

ADRIC is the preeminent national ADR organization which:

  • Promotes cost-effective conflict resolution and alternatives to litigation;
  • Provides a regulatory framework for its members through a code of ethics, a code of conduct for mediators, complaints process, and a member discipline procedure;
  • Accredits eligible mediators and arbitrators with prestigious designations demonstrating high levels of achievement, experience, and skills;
  • Establishes rosters of ADR professionals to meet specific ADR-user needs;
  • Develops and updates model mediation rules, arbitration rules and med-arb rules which save parties significant time and cost in resolving their disputes through ADR
  • Provides parties with mediation and arbitration appointments and arbitration case administration services; and
  • Provides parties with access to the ADR CONNECT database of ADRIC-member mediators and arbitrators which sets out experience, specialties and relevant professional designations.

ADRIC works together with regional affiliate ADR institutes across Canada consisting of member ADR neutrals with experience in arbitration, mediation, systems design, training, and conflict resolution. An important ADRIC objective is to improve awareness of the positive attributes of ADR with key stakeholders – individuals, corporations, law firms, governments, educational institutions, and other for-profit and non-profit organizations – thereby simplifying and improving processes and access to justice.

Who is Eligible?

Eligible organizations for Corporate Memberships in the ADRIC do not provide as their primary business, any of the following:

(a) alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) services, paid or unpaid,
(b) ADR case or roster administration services, and/or
(c) services in competition with ADRIC and its regional affiliates.

Eligible organizations will generally include Canadian law firms, accounting firms, businesses and companies that do not operate in the areas of (a), (b) or (c), educational institutions, government bodies, departments and regulators, industry and trade associations,  and other organizations determined solely by ADRIC’s Executive Director to be eligible for corporate membership within the strict criteria set out above.  Applicants for membership may be asked for the information reasonably required by the Executive Director to determine eligibility.
