Jonathan Cooper commenced work with Cooper Mediation Inc. in 2014. He has an insatiable appetite and passion for mediation. He has trained extensively with the Stitt Feld Handy Group and has attended numerous industry-sponsored educational programs. Over the last eight years of practice, he has mediated over 1,400 civil disputes. In 2019, he was inducted as a Distinguished Fellow of the International Academy of Mediators (IAM) and in 2022, he was inducted to the Ontario Chapter of the Canadian Academy of Distinguished Neutrals. Both the IAM and CADN are invitation-only organizations consisting of the most successful commercial mediators in the world who must adhere to the highest practice and ethical qualifications.

Jon devotes 100% of his professional time to mediating. He is a member of the ADR Institute of Ontario. In his free time, Jon plays all sports [being particularly fond of golf, basketball and squash] and is an avid supporter of all Toronto professional sports teams [and is a member of all of the support groups associated with the consistent failure of Toronto sports franchises over the years, the 2018-19 Raptors being the exception].

“It was a 2 pm afternoon mandatory mediation. Seven parties involved. My client was facing two deductibles and threshold arguments. By 630, I was more than ready to call it a day. Jon convinced me to keep working at it,  as he saw a light at the end of the tunnel. By 830, the offer was now within the range of reasonableness and we could settle the case. Jon kept working with everyone until we got everything done.” – Senior Plaintiff Lawyer
