Insurance Law. We Defend What Matters.
Insurance Defence, Done Right
At Wallace Smith LLP, we don’t just fight cases, we shape outcomes. We act for some of Canada’s largest property, casualty, and special risk insurers, as well as some of its smallest. Some of our major clients have worked with us for over 25 years. Litigation is our arena, and we play to win smartly and efficiently. We are both litigation and coverage counsel.
What Do We Do Differently?
We understand the need for responsive, efficient and cost-effective service and we provide it. We regularly exceed expectations and tailor our services to our client’s needs such as preferred e-billing programs. We are early adopters of technology and work in a paperless environment.
