Julian Bodnar has been engaged in the general practice of law in Saskatchewan and Alberta for over 28 years. He has worked extensively with contentious legal issues in the realms of Aging, Environment, Agriculture, Business, Work, and Disability. Of particular note has been his work in matters of agriculture and the environment, and in oil and gas, surface rights, utility acquisitions, and expropriations. From his practice experience, he is known for his steadfast advocacy to ensure that his clients’ interests in legal matters are addressed fairly and equitably. He has also always strived to have their interests acknowledged through settlements and resolutions instead of relying predominantly upon formal litigation or regulatory procedures.
Julian has now formalized the settlement focus of his practice to offer parties opportunities for resolving legal disputes instead of deferring solely to litigation procedures, the courts, regulatory approval processes, and administrative tribunals. From his extensive experience as a lawyer, he is confident and now advocates that parties to a dispute can have a much better assurance that their respective interests in a legal matter will be acknowledged fairly and equitably, and likely sooner with less costs, in the course of a recognized dispute resolution process rather than a long and drawn out contentious legal or regulatory proceeding. It is with this experience and confidence, and his training in law, and dispute resolution methods, that Julian now, offers services to assist parties with resolving and settling their disputes as a Settlement Counsel, Mediator, and Arbitrator.
Julian’s circumstances have also lead him to take personal and professional interest in the topic of disability. Through DisabilityWellness he offers new perspectives to the meaning, and, to the awareness, and advocacy, of disability in society, through advisory and consultation services, speaking engagements, and workshops.
Julian welcomes your inquiries has to how his dispute resolution services may be a more viable alternative for you to address legal disputes rather than relying solely upon regulatory or litigation procedures. His professional training and work experience is summarized in his Resume.
