William G. Horton Professional Corporation - Barrister | Arbitrator

As I write this, it has been over a year since I decided to end 30 years of practicing commercial litigation and arbitration in a law firm setting to pursue a long standing dream of practicing as a barrister, that is to say as an independent counsel not associated with any one firm. I am delighted with the results of that decision.

I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the clients who have continued to use or have sought out my services since I have made the change. I also thank my colleagues who have shared their talents and the resources of their firms in a collaborative effort to deliver the best possible representation and customized services to the clients we share. Finally, I wish to express my profound appreciation to the counsel who have entrusted me with the responsibility of arbitrating and mediating their clients’ cases. As with the most challenging counsel work, it is a duty to be taken seriously and a trust which must be earned on every case.

For those who are not familiar with my practice, my services are provided in two categories: work as a neutral and work as counsel:

      Neutral Work

     I act as arbitrator or mediator in commercial and complex disputes, in all institutional and ad hoc settings. I am a resident arbitrator and mediator at ADR Chambers in Toronto and bookings for neutral assignments can be made through them.

      Counsel Work

     My counsel work is done:

i. in collaboration with law firms or other specialists, on a case by case basis, where that is required, or

ii. independently, in assignments where little or no support is required (e.g. second opinions or limited retainers).

Qualifications

Please see other pages on this website for information regarding my professional background, qualifications and contact details.

I look forward to working with you.
