As reported by global arbitral institutions, there has been a continued increase in international arbitration around the world. Now, more than ever, companies are looking to arbitration as a preferred method of dispute resolution, and there are no signs that things are slowing down.

This trend has also continued in the United States and Canada over the course of the pandemic, where delays in courts have made cross-border parties more amenable to arbitration. Both countries have incorporated arbitration into their legal regimes in similar ways, but a number of critical differences exist between them, which US companies doing business in Canada and vice-versa should be aware of as they navigate arbitration procedures.

On March 10th, Dentons hosted a moderated discussion on what US businesses need to know to operate and manage risk when considering arbitration in Canada. We also hosted a session on February 10th for Canadian businesses considering arbitration in the US and how to manage risk. Follow this link to view the recording!
