Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP’s premier insurance offering is well weighted between market-shaping transactions, complex regulatory issues and strategic contentious work. Routinely sought after by major domestic and global insurers and reinsurers, the team is also a popular choice to represent insured entities on high-stakes disputes. On the litigation front, Calgary-based David Tupper is widely recognized for the breadth of his expertise, which spans subrogation actions, coverage actions, and liability defence cases, among others. The insurance litigation team also draws on Montreal-based Matthew Liben, who has extensive experience in representing US and Europe-based insurance companies and syndicates; and Calgary’s Keith Marlowe QC, who has an emphasis on insurance coverage and defence. Toronto-based financial services head Paul Belanger is a go-to specialist for non-contentious work. Also recommended in Toronto for transactional and regulatory insurance matters are Bonny Murray, Jake Gilbert and next-generation partner Michael Elder.
