Insurance Defence

The insurance defence practice group at McKenzie Lake understands the needs of insurers in the defence of litigation claims. The firm has represented Canadian and U.S. insurance clients for over 50 years in matters involving motor vehicle claims, occupier's liability claims, coverage disputes and opinions and institutional sexual assault/abuse claims as well as the defence of lawyers in professional negligence claims.

The casualty and property insurance defence group is headed by senior partner David Nash who provides experience and knowledge both to his own cases as well as the cases over which the department associates have day to day reasonability.

Lawyers facing professional practice claims come to McKenzie Lake for the expertise and experience of senior partner John McNair and Mavis Butkus.

Every case is different and the insurance defence lawyers at McKenzie Lake understand that. Cases that are capable of resolution without protracted and expensive proceedings are recognized and handled accordingly. Cases that require an aggressive trial preparation response receive the strategic attention that such cases deserve.

Whether the final result be the product of negotiation, mediation, arbitration or trial, McKenzie Lake prides itself on providing solutions to our insurance clients.
