Insurance law, from both sides of the policy.

We act for individuals and for major Canadian and American insurers, brokers, adjusters and medical practitioners. We look for the cost-effective settlement first, and assert your interests forcefully when that isn't enough.

  • Individuals & insurers
  • Settlement-first
  • Trial-ready when needed

The insurance law team at Gilbert McGloan Gillis has carved out an extensive practice representing both individuals and major Canadian and American insurance companies.

Deep experience with contractual relationships, risk management and creative problem-solving lets us reach cost-effective settlements. When those solutions aren’t appropriate or effective enough, we assert our clients’ interests forcefully and definitively.

Who we act for

  • Individuals
  • Canadian insurers
  • American insurers
  • Medical practitioners
  • Brokers
  • Adjusters
  • Corporations

Settle smart. Litigate when it counts.

Most insurance disputes don’t need a trial. We work through the options in order of cost and speed, and move up only when we have to.

  1. Mediation
    A neutral third party helps both sides find common ground.
  2. Settlement conferences
    Structured negotiation, often with a judge’s input on the likely outcome.
  3. Arbitration & other ADR
    A private, binding decision without the time and cost of a full trial.
  4. Litigation
    When nothing else works: forceful, definitive advocacy in court.
