Experienced, Efficient Decision-Making for Workplace and Employment Disputes
Arbitration services for workplace, labour, employment, human rights, and related disputes requiring a fair, independent, and enforceable determination.
Practical Arbitration Services
Arbitration is an efficient form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that allows parties to resolve disputes without the time, expense, and procedural complexity often associated with civil court proceedings.
As an independent arbitrator, I work with parties to design a process that is fair, practical, and proportionate to the issues in dispute. My goal is to deliver timely decisions while keeping the process as efficient and cost-effective as possible.
Unlike traditional litigation, arbitration offers greater scheduling flexibility, fewer procedural delays, virtual hearing options, and a streamlined process tailored to the parties' needs. Whether a dispute can be resolved through written submissions alone, or requires a full evidentiary hearing, I work collaboratively with the parties to determine the most efficient way to present evidence and achieve a final resolution.

FAQ
-
Arbitration can be used to resolve a broad range of disputes, including labour grievances, employment and workplace disputes, human rights complaints, breach of contract claims, unpaid invoices and debt recovery matters, business and commercial disputes, independent contractor disputes, construction and renovation disputes, governance matters, and professional or regulatory disputes.
Chloe also adjudicates priority and loss transfer disputes, interest arbitrations, association and membership disputes, as well as review and appeal proceedings where an independent decision-maker is required.
-
Arbitration can provide a more efficient and flexible alternative to traditional civil litigation. The parties generally have greater control over scheduling, procedure, hearing format, and how evidence is presented.
Depending on the dispute, arbitration may also involve fewer procedural steps, shorter timelines, virtual hearing options, and a process designed specifically around the complexity and value of the matter. This can help reduce both delay and overall cost.
-
No. The process can be tailored to the dispute.
Some matters may be appropriate for determination entirely through written submissions and documentary evidence, while others may require witness testimony, cross-examination, oral submissions, or a full evidentiary hearing.
Chloe works with the parties to determine a procedure that is fair and proportionate without adding unnecessary procedural complexity.
-
Chloe offers a range of arbitration formats, including expedited arbitration, written arbitration, traditional arbitration, final offer arbitration, mediation/arbitration, private adjudication, and other forms of binding dispute resolution.
Proceedings may be conducted virtually or in person, and the format can be adapted based on the nature of the dispute, the evidence required, and the needs of the parties.
-
Expedited arbitration is a streamlined process intended for disputes that can be resolved without the procedural requirements of a more traditional arbitration.
The parties may agree to shorter timelines, limited evidence, written submissions, focused hearing time, or other procedural efficiencies. The objective is to reach a fair and timely determination while keeping the process proportionate to the issues in dispute.
