A former Law Society of Saskatchewan Bencher and former Chair of the Saskatchewan Admin/Labour and Employment CBA section and CBA National Labour & Employment section, Ronni is now focusing her volunteer time as a member of a number of non-profit boards with a focus on addictions, mental health and recovery.

Services
Arbitration
Arbitrations can be held in person or virtually. Even if the hearing is in person, I would appreciate receiving written arguments and case law electronically (only). My preference is to hold a brief hearing management conference call with counsel a few weeks in advance of the hearing in the hope of simplifying the hearing process.
**Rate: $300.00 per hour. Cancellation fee: $500.00 per day with less than 7 days’ notice.
To book arbitration dates contact Ronni directly at ronni@nordallaw.ca or 306-373-2990.
Mediation
Mediations can be held in person or virtually. A mediation agreement will be signed which will include an expectation that disclosure will have occurred between the parties in advance of mediation. Although not required, my preference is to have a pre-mediation call with each counsel to obtain a sense of the issue(s) being addressed. I also encourage documents that will assist me in fulfilling my role in the mediation process to be provided in advance.
**Rate: $300.00 per hour. Cancellation fee: $500.00 per day with less than 7 days’ notice.

Med/Arb
Med/Arb is encouraged and can also be held in person or virtually. A Med/Arb agreement will be signed. I believe the most effective form of Med/Arb requires the parties to have completed full disclosure and to make some form of written submission regarding the issues in dispute in advance of the mediation. Even if not resolved at mediation this will assist the hearing process.
To book med/arb dates contact Ronni directly at ronni@nordallaw.ca or 306-373-2990.
