McCarthy Tétrault

A leader in the the corporate insurance sphere, McCarthy Tétrault acts for a mix of insurers, reinsurers, brokers, insurtech companies and insured corporations on a broad scope of transactional and regulatory matters, including M&A, demutualizations and reorganizations. The group also leverages the wider firm’s premier dispute resolution offering to shine in contentious work. Seasoned counsel Nancy Carroll co-heads the practice and possesses a strong track record in complex and first-of-a-kind industry matters, including advising on the first demutualization of a life insurance company in Canada. Fellow co-head Hartley Lefton also specializes in transactional and regulatory work, including advising on sensitive regulatory investigations. Rounding out the key partners is insurance litigator Christopher Hubbard, who has a focus on professional negligence, product liability and mass torts. Other recommended names include Montreal-based Sonia Struthers, who handles financial services regulation, and litigator Atrisha Lewis. Named lawyers are based in Toronto unless stated otherwise. William Scott recently retired, while Aidan Cameron left the firm.
