Insurance Coverage Disputes
Overview
Canada's Premier Policyholder Firm
No one knows the ins and outs of insurance policies and high stakes insurance coverage litigation like we do.
We have a market-leading policyholder-side coverage disputes group led by the Canadian Litigator of the Year and a Fellow of the American College of Coverage Counsel. Our group is dedicated to fearlessly advancing the interests of policyholders against major insurers. We have obtained successful results for clients in disputes involving cyber insurance, crime bonds, errors and omissions policies, directors and officers policies, commercial general liability policies, property policies, life insurance policies, marine policies, and environmental liability policies. Our clients depend on us to guide them through the entire insurance claims process, from initial claims notice to settlement or active litigation.
We have been involved in some of the biggest and most significant insurance disputes in Canada, the U.S., and claims involving multiple jurisdictions globally. We have a deep understanding of the shifting dynamics of specialized industries and have acted for clients in mining, natural resources, energy, construction, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and hospitality industries, among others.
We are often instrumental in securing coverage without the need for full litigation. However, our litigators are ready to take any matter to court when necessary. Our insurance lawyers have recovered over $2 billion of insurance proceeds on behalf of policyholder clients.
Policyholders turn to us in high stakes, complex insurance coverage disputes. From complex claims to courtroom victories, discover how we turn complex insurance disputes into successful outcomes - click here to explore our capabilities, industry reputation, and the team behind our success.
