With immense sadness, Arbitration Place has learned of the unexpected and untimely passing of our dear friend, John Keefe, on Sunday, May 23rd.
John joined Arbitration Place in December 2017 and has been an integral part of our fabric since then, working as an arbitrator and mediator with many in the dispute resolution community in Toronto, across Canada and internationally.
Our thoughts and prayers are with John’s wife Diane and the entire Keefe family.
John will be missed by all of us.
