Subrogation & Recovery

Subrogation is a vital legal process that supports the ongoing viability of the insurance industry.

Subrogation is a complex area of law separate from insurance defence that calls for a depth of understanding of the distinct legal and forensic issues. We routinely handle large, complex subrogation matters from across Canada.

We work with clients on all aspects of the recovery process to resolve subrogated claims with the best interests of their insureds and organizations in mind. Our primary goal is to maximize the total amount recovered in the shortest possible time.
