International law firm Clyde & Co LLP
stepped onto the Canadian stage in
September 2011, taking over boutique Nicholl
Paskell-Mede LLP. The firm has 53 lawyers
split between its two Canadian offices with
practice areas including dispute resolution,
international arbitration, and regulatory compliance in casualty, construction and engineering, insurance, and professional practices.
The predecessor firm was formed by John
Nicholl and Mindy Paskell-Mede after they
left Ogilvy Renault LLP in 1992.

Eric Dolden, Steve Wallace, and Lorne Folick
established their insurance defence boutique in
1994 after leaving Vancouver's Freeman & Co.,
Alexander Holburn Beaudin + Lang LLP, and
Paine Edmonds LLP respectively. They have gradually expanded their reach by adding a few associates each year and now have a stable of 31 lawyers,
including two at their recently opened Kelowna
outpost. Their top clients include insurance companies Aviva, Lloyd's of London, Intact, and the
Co-operators. The firm has managed to stand out
from the crowd by prioritizing its expertise in specialty lines of insurance — such as directors' and
officers' liability — professional liability, technology liability policies, and cyber-liability policies.
