A consummate professional who guided us through a complex insurance dispute

Our company faced a significant and complex insurance coverage dispute following a major property loss. The insurer was denying a substantial portion of our claim, and we needed counsel with deep expertise. Michael Nadeau was recommended for his recognized work in insurance law, and his 21 years of experience were immediately evident. He meticulously analyzed our policy and the loss details, providing a clear, strategic path forward. His dual background from McGill and UVic, combined with his role as Managing Partner, speaks to his analytical rigor and leadership. Michael’s negotiation was firm yet pragmatic, ultimately securing a settlement that far exceeded our initial expectations without protracted litigation. His professionalism and command of the details were exceptional throughout.
