RMC members Lindsay LLP and CBM Lawyers have been named to Canadian Lawyers’ ranking of the top 10 insurance defence boutiques in Canada.

Based in Edmonton, CBM Lawyers have been in the insurance defence market in Alberta since 1954. Today, the firm has grown to 27 full-time lawyers who handle insurance claim disputes across personal, commercial and specialty lines. Clients include domestic and international insurers and self-insureds who turn to the firm for claims, coverage, subrogation and risk management matters. The firm has acted for one leading insurer for more than 50 years and others for more than 40 years.

Vancouver’s Lindsay LLP opened its doors as a boutique insurance defence firm on Jan. 1, 2013 as a consequence of the changing need for counsel within the insurance industry. Until then, the insurance practice, which began in 1980, had been part of a full-service regional law firm. The firm works within the judicial system to achieve resolution of most cases through settlement, alternative dispute resolution and trial if necessary. Lindsay LLP is a group of 25 lawyers with experience in casualty and property insurance, with particular expertise in most specialty areas.
