The complete press release is below.

 

******

Dolden Wallace Folick LLP and Robinson Sheppard Shapiro LLP are excited to announce that they have entered into a strategic alliance (the “Strategic Alliance”). Through the Strategic Alliance, Dolden and the RSS Insurance Group offer a national platform, seamlessly providing expert legal advice in French and English. Dolden and RSS collectively offer expert legal advice for defence and coverage across all specialty lines of insurance including GL, professional liability, D&O, fiduciary, environmental, construction, EPL, cyber and energy. Class action litigation can now be handled nationally, inclusive of Québec class action matters. Dolden and RSS are individually recognized as leaders in the insurance law industry. The Strategic Alliance will ensure the continuity of that excellence in all Canadian jurisdictions.

The objective of Dolden and RSS is to ensure they consistently offer the highest quality legal services to domestic and international clients within the Canadian market.

Background

The Strategic Alliance brings together approximately 30 specialty insurance lawyers from RSS and approximately 80 lawyers from Dolden spanning Canada’s common law and civil law jurisdictions.

Named “One of Canada’s Best Law Firms for Insurance Law in 2024” by The Globe and Mail, and “Canada’s Law Firm of the Year 2021 for Insurance Law” by The Best Lawyers in Canada, RSS’ insurance group has been recognized as an industry leader in Québec for nearly half-a-century. Québec has a complex, evolving insurance environment, and RSS takes great pride in its ability to provide insurers with timely, effective guidance. RSS’ expertise in insurance matters has enabled it to develop long-standing relationships with a particularly extensive range of domestic and international clients.

Dolden was formed in 1994 with one office in Vancouver, British Columbia. Dolden’s three founding partners remain at Dolden today. Since its inception, Dolden has grown rapidly but organically, expanding to include offices in Kelowna, Calgary, Toronto and Guelph. Dolden and its lawyers have consistently been recognized as one of Canada’s best by Canadian Lawyer and Best Lawyers. Dolden places the highest value on client service, and its ability to anticipate insurers’ needs in a quickly changing Canadian insurance market. Consistently having its “thumb on the pulse” has been a cornerstone of Dolden’s success over the last three decades.
