Cliff Hendler is one of North America’s foremost commercial mediators.

Cliff has established many of the benchmarks for dispute resolution in Canada. Over the past 30 years, he has been retained in excess of 5,000 matters and is regarded as an individual who is able to assist in the resolution of the most difficult and hotly debated cases. 

His primary practice areas are matters relating to professional negligence/malpractice, personal injury, insurance litigation, products liability, class actions, commercial fraud, defamation, workplace disputes, and community-based conflicts. His cases have included very high profile and delicate matters that have been successfully resolved away from the public eye.

From 1990 through 2010, he was the founder and president of DRS Dispute Resolution Services LP. In 2010 he merged that firm with ADR Chambers, Canada’s largest provider of alternative dispute resolution processes and training. Along with his substantial experience in mediation, Cliff has extensive experience in mediation advocacy training. He has been an international guest lecturer/speaker at many universities, organizations and public forums across North America and Europe. He co-managed the development of a mediation advocacy program for the American Bar Association National Institute.
