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.
