Insurance
Since 1998 insurance lawyers at Branch MacMaster LLP have effectively handled insurance coverage and defence matters. We specialize in a variety of claims for commercial insurers. We defend insureds against lawsuits alleging occupiers’ liability, product liability, motor vehicle liability, professional negligence, and construction defects. We also advise insurers on insurance coverage, and defend insurers sued on their policies.
We are licensed to practice across Canada including in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and the Northwest Territories. As experienced trial and appellate lawyers, we work with our clients to resolve claims before trial or proceed through trial and appeals. Our responsive and economic approach, coupled with our many years’ experience delivering successful outcomes to our insurance clients, makes us a reliable partner for coverage and defence matters.

Expertise
We have worked with many major insurance companies in Canada. We have managed property, liability, coverage and disability work. We have represented both insurers, and their insureds, before all levels of court in British Columbia and Alberta, and before the Supreme Court of Canada.
Economy
As a boutique law firm freed from the overhead requirements of the large corporate firm, we are able to provide insurance clients with large firm quality at small firm rates.
Continuity
As a small law firm, Branch MacMaster LLP is able to provide the permanent personal connection necessary to manage a file effectively.
Flexibility
If an insurer requires a unique retainer approach (bulk billing, task based billing, contingency), we are able to respond to any request. Our lawyers are members of the Law Societies of British Columbia, Alberta, the Northwest Territories and Ontario. We are able to service clients with legal issues in all these jurisdictions, and other Canadian jurisdictions. Please contact us for further information.
