ABOUT
Kyle MacLeod
I am a civil mediator on the Alberta Court of Justice Civil Claims Mediation Roster, providing mediation services for litigated civil disputes throughout Alberta, virtually and in person.
​
My background includes insurance defence litigation and service as in-house claims counsel for a legal professional liability insurer, where I held settlement authority over hundreds of professional liability files. That experience provides practical insight into litigation risk and the realities of settlement decision-making in practice.
​
MacLeod Mediation provides civil mediation services to lawyers and their clients in litigated disputes across Alberta.
