Insurance Law
We understand the careful balance between these good faith and the need for profitability which must be maintained by our insurance clients. WMCZ's approach is always tempered by practicality, whether representing the insurer in a policy dispute with its insured or representing the insured in a liability claim. Our focus is timely resolution that is satisfactory to our client, in whatever forum that result is best achieved.
WMCZ is proud to represent a number of national property, casualty, life, and disability insurers respecting policy disputes, subrogated claims, the defence of liability claims, the regulation of insurers in the province of Saskatchewan, and the interests of insurers on the interplay of segregated fund investments and the laws of bankruptcy.
