Insurance Law and Litigation

One of the largest insurance defence law firms in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, Lindsay Kenney LLP has been an acknowledged leader in the delivery of legal services to the insurance industry in British Columbia and Western Canada for over 30 years. In fact, during the firm’s first 15 years, insurance defence was LK Law’s primary area of practice. And while we have grown since then to rank among the region’s largest comprehensive business law firms, our insurance defence work remains an integral and key component of the firm’s practice in both our Vancouver and Langley offices.

We are regularly retained to represent and provide advice to local, regional, national and international insurance companies, captive insurers and corporations with significant self-insurance, and have acted as counsel in all manner of disputes, from the simplest claims to complex, multi-party litigation.

LK Law’s insurance lawyers have experience in all levels of court in British Columbia, as well as in the Federal and Supreme Courts of Canada.

We understand the business objectives of our clients and the importance of working together as a team to achieve the cost-effective resolution of all disputes. We also understand that an effective working relationship is based on trust, confidence, open communication and the highest level of service. Our insurance lawyers are committed to providing our clients with:

  • The highest standard of professional legal services at a reasonable cost
  • Practical and common-sense solutions to your problems
  • Solutions that avoid or minimize the need to litigate
  • Prompt responses to all forms of communication
  • Services tailored to meet your specific needs
  • Services that utilize modern business technology effectively
  • A positive and understanding environment in which to conduct your business

The lawyers in our insurance group are actively involved in insurance industry organizations, and also contribute to the legal education and professional development of our clients. Our lawyers regularly participate in industry conferences and client seminars, and uphold a 20-year tradition of providing an annual insurance seminar for our clients.

Lindsay Kenney LLP is also a full service law firm with expertise and experience in a broad range of practice areas, and provides comprehensive in-house resources that can be called upon for the benefit of our insurance clients in resolving the unusual issues which can often arise in the course of claims resolution.
