Clyde & Co LLP

Synonymous with insurance law globally, Clyde & Co LLP’s Canadian arm finds favour for its strong national practice, which is composed of ‘experts in their fields’, and also for its ’broad network of international colleagues’. Enjoying close relationships with leading multinational insurers and reinsurers, the group is widely recognized for its contentious firepower and it advises on disputes and contentious regulatory proceedings across all insurance lines. In Montreal, global senior partner Carolena Gordon specializes in construction and infrastructure-related work; Robert Emblem is highly regarded for construction disputes; Trevor McCann represents insurers in coverage and liability matters; and office managing partner Dominic Naud is also recommended. In Calgary, Don Dear KC brings niche expertise in oil and gas-related work, while office managing partner Alexis Moulton ‘provides excellent coverage analysis’. Keith Geurts, who manages the Toronto office, is also noted. Toronto-based partners John Nicholl and Heather Gray recently left to join Whitelaw Twining.
