We are pleased to announce that Law Works’ principal, Ben Hanuka, has recently completed the Toronto Commercial Arbitration Society’s ‘Gold Standard© Course in Commercial Arbitration’.

The course meets and exceeds the Gold Standard© requirements of the ADR Institute of Canada. Successful completion of the course satisfies the training requirements for the Q.Arb. designation conferred by the ADR Institute of Canada.  Successful completion of the course also satisfies the professional designation requirement that is now a condition for TCAS membership.

The comprehensive and intensive course in commercial arbitration, which ran from September 2017 to May 2018, covers both international and domestic arbitration.  In addition to teaching sessions, the course includes extensive reading materials, custom designed practical exercises in writing arbitration clauses, making procedural decisions and writing awards, and video supplements on specialized topics such as investor state arbitration and advocacy in international arbitration.
