Canadian lawyer, Murray H. Miskin, after over 30 years of civil litigation law practice primarily representing Plaintiffs in insurance claims, has made the shift to neutrality and is available to provide mediation services on a regular basis. In February 1998, after over a decade of work in Arbitration teaching and practice, Murray took Mediation training at Osgoode Hall Law School in and began to work as a Mediator on a limited basis. He was on the Toronto Superior Court Roster of Mediators starting in 1999 and he left the Roster in 2003 when the demand for his services became too high and interfered with the law practice. Since then Murray has conducted a reduced number of mediations and worked primarily on a plaintiff personal injury law practice. Now, with the law practice changing to eliminate day to day office solicitor work (real estate, wills and estates) and active involvement in civil court cases, Mediation Services now have a higher priority. Most of Murray Miskin’s work as a lawyer has been in the field of insurance law where he has over 30 years of experience. He served as Chair of the Insurance Law Section of the Ontario Bar Association from 2000 to 2001 and the National Insurance Law Section of the Canadian Bar Association from 2003 to 2004. Murray who has now moved away from Plaintiff insurance law practice is ideally suited to provide insurance mediation services. Murray offers hourly, half-day and full day rates for Mediation Services and does not charge for travel in the Greater Toronto area.
