strategies and budgets, and to identify and implement alternative
methods of dispute resolution. The firm also advises clients
in the insurance industry as to corporate matters such as
registration and licensing requirements, including representations

Council of British Columbia, and provincial Superintendents
of Insurance. Many of our lawyers participate as panelists

by groups such as the Continuing Legal Education Society,
and the Canadian Institute. Senior members of the firm serve
as Adjunct Professors at the University of British Columbia
Faculty of Law. We share our expertise with our clients
