Corporate Membership

To Join as a Corporate Member

In 2000, The Canadian Foundation for Dispute Resolution (CFDR) which was comprised largely of corporation users and practitioners, merged with the Arbitrators and Mediators Institute of Canada (AMIC) to become the ADR Institute of Canada.

Since that time Corporate Members continue to form an essential component of the Institute’s membership, keeping the Institute in tune and up-to date with the needs of law firms, government departments, municipalities, crown corporations and private companies who use ADR services.

Corporate membership is open to all organizations, including business corporations and law firms; professional, industry, and employee groups; municipal bodies and government authorities; and non-profit and other community groups.

Corporate members have a commitment to demonstrating leadership in the field of ADR and in using ADR as a business tool to prevent and deal with problems, resolve disputes creatively and cost-effectively, and build solid working relationships with business partners and employees.
