Colm Brannigan has over twenty-five years of experience in alternative dispute resolution methods including mediation, med-arb and arbitration in many types of disputes, including commercial, technology & AI, condominium, construction, real estate, new home warranty, estates, small business succession, partnerships, shareholders agreements and general civil litigation.
Colm is an acknowledged leader in the use of Online Dispute Resolution in Canada and the integration of AI into ADR practice.
