Our Litigation Approach

The philosophy of our firm is to aggressively pursue our clients’ goals while simultaneously recognizing the client’s budgetary realities. Litigation can be expensive, but we can control costs by using computer research tools, document creation, and organization software programs. We have a reputation for managing files in a very cost-effective manner.

In the case of insurance litigation, we believe that by effectively assigning our personnel, we can administer claims in a cost-effective and goal-orientated manner. This approach involves:

  • Early identification of key issues
  • Evaluation of the value of the claim and defence potential
  • Consultation with the client regarding defence strategy and to identify client goals
  • Establishing a rapport with the insured and ensuring the insured’s interests are being considered and protected
  • Resolving claims that are able to be settled as quickly and as reasonably as possible through direct negotiation and mediation
  • Providing experienced trial counsel to defend cases that require a trial

It is important to serve notice that weak claims and unreasonable demands will be rigorously defended and scrutinized at trial.
