Accordance Dispute Resolution LLP

About Accordance Dispute Resolution LLP

Accordance Dispute Resolution LLP is a mediation and arbitration practice in Victoria, British Columbia, working out of the Law Chambers Building at 45 Bastion Square. Marco Abruzzi founded the firm in 2022 after moving from Vancouver, where Abruzzi worked primarily as a litigation lawyer for 10 years, including a period as a lawyer, mediator, and arbitrator for a downtown law firm. Abruzzi also served as Crown Counsel with the federal Department of Justice, in the Business and Regulatory Law and Aboriginal Affairs sections, and worked for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans on dam and run of river project files. Abruzzi holds a Juris Doctor from the University of British Columbia, a Diploma of International Commercial Arbitration from Oxford University, and mediation and negotiation certifications from Harvard Law School, and is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

Accordance mediates and arbitrates business, corporate, workplace, estate, and family disputes, including shareholder disagreements, contract disputes, and separation related matters like asset division and spousal support. It also offers single issue arbitration, a streamlined process built for disputes that come down to one specific question rather than the full scope of a chambers application, so the time and cost involved match the size of the problem. Abruzzi is described on the firm's site as a mediator and arbitrator serving Victoria, Vancouver, and Toronto.
