We are committed to delivering practical and strategic legal solutions for our clients, whether resolving disputes, providing coverage opinions, or defending complex claims.
Our team represents major Canadian and international insurers in a wide range of insurance matters, including first- and third-party claims, subrogation actions, and risk management strategies. With a strong litigation background, our lawyers advocate before all levels of court in Alberta as well as in other Canadian provinces and territories.
Tailored Insurance, Risk Management and Proactive Legal Strategies
Duncan Craig LLP provides expert legal counsel and representation across a broad spectrum of insurance-related matters. Our goal is to help clients mitigate risks, manage claims effectively, and navigate complex legal frameworks with confidence. Duncan Craig LLP lawyers also understand the importance of timely reporting on all matters.
Insurance disputes can be complex and costly. Our team is well-versed in alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including mediation and arbitration, to help you resolve matters efficiently and cost-effectively.
Additionally, we understand that traditional billing models may not always meet the needs of insurers. As such, we are flexible and innovative in our fee arrangements, working with clients to create cost-effective legal solutions tailored to their specific requirements.
