Lawyers in our insurance group advise insurers directly on a complex variety of legal matters including corporate organization and regulatory compliance, interpretation of policies, the provision of coverage opinions, and litigation of coverage disputes.
Our insurance lawyers also deal extensively with investigations into fraudulent claims, arson and other deviant claims activity. As well, our insurance lawyers carry on a very vigorous liability defence practice, together with strong casualty, life and disability defence practises. Principal areas of defence activity include CGL policies, professional negligence, products liability, directors and officers' coverage, municipal liability and construction surety policies.
Notably, our insurance group possesses demonstrated expertise in the defence of professional liability claims throughout Manitoba, an area in which our services are sought out by leading regional and national insurers.
