Mediator

Andrea Raso

Andrea’s approach to dispute resolution is ambitious, versatile, and client-focused. While she has twice successfully represented cases before the Supreme Court of Canada and thrives on the demands of a trial, she understands that not all conflicts belong in the courtroom. She values the power of a well-negotiated compromise and prioritizes solutions that save clients time, costs, and stress.

In line with this philosophy, Andrea earned a Mediation Certificate from UCLA and Harvard Law, equipping her with specialized skills to navigate complex negotiations. This training enables her to guide opposing parties toward resolutions that align with our clients’ best interests, often avoiding unnecessary litigation.

Andrea’s passion for business and people—first sparked as a teenager working in her father’s factory—has grown into a refined talent for helping organizations succeed through effective, people-centered solutions. Her ability to balance assertive advocacy with the art of mediation makes her a powerful ally in achieving favorable, out-of-court outcomes.
