Insurance and Professional Liability
We take great pride in the fact that we have been recognized as specialists in insurance & professional liability law for several decades.
We handle a wide range of insurance matters, including property and damage insurance, comprehensive general liability insurance, professional liability insurance, and product liability insurance. Given the scope of our experience and the fact that we have repeatedly acted on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants, we have the ability to analyze the merits of each case from the points of view of both parties, and are able to provide our clients with practical and strategic advice in a cost-effective manner.
Our lawyers practicing in these areas regularly appear before all levels of courts in Québec and we have appeared before the Supreme Court of Canada. We have obtained many favourable judgments on behalf of our clients, and in doing so, have contributed to the development of the case law in Québec in these areas.
Expertise
Insurance
We regularly act for Canadian, American and international insurance companies in all forms of insurance matters.
We also frequently represent individuals and corporations in pursuing claims against insurance companies and municipalities, in matters such as disability insurance, life insurance, and property insurance.
Professional Liability
For many years, we have represented lawyers and the Professional Liability Insurance Fund of the Barreau du Québec in defending professional malpractice claims filed against lawyers.
These claims include matters of procedure, prescription, trial advocacy, and the overall handling of files. Due to our diligence and professionalism in defending such claims, the lawyers whom we represent often subsequently refer cases to us that relate to our firm’s other areas of specialization.
