Environmental Claims

Responding to any environmental claim requires unique experience and expertise that several of our lawyers possess. We have represented insurers, gas and oil companies, property owners, municipalities, as well as professionals, and directors and officers, who have been sued or charged with environmental offences under the Environmental Protection Act. We have been and are involved in claims arising out of spill litigation, property remediation, personal injury, and insurance coverage. We regularly deal with the Ministry of the Environment. One of our lawyers worked with the Ministry and co-authored the definitive book on civil liability for environmental harm. We have the capacity and experience to deal with mass tort litigation and class actions in the environmental context and we are prepared to react quickly to any environmental event in progress with a "hands on" approach and in coordination with experts whom can assemble for a rapid response to unique situations. Our goal is to deal with your environmental problem with an effective, economical and imaginative approach.
