Top 10 Insurance Defence boutiques Dutton Brock LLP (Toronto) duttonbrock.com This firm emerged from a line of shops that began about 65 years ago with Ferguson Montgomery Cassels & Mitchell. The modern firm was established in the early 1980s, and currently houses 38 lawyers. The firm notably got the nod in a highly contentious matter, with Ontario's attorney general having retained senior partner Brian Brock to manage insurance claims flowing from the Walkerton, Ont., tainted water scandal. "Very professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant to deal with," said one Toronto lawyer of his contact with the firm, while another said they stood out for their "top calibre" counsel. 10 Top Insurance Defence BOUTIQUES Gasco Goodhue St-Germain LLP (Montreal) gasco.qc.ca Founded in 1977 by Robert Gasco, this 18-lawyer outfit from Montreal has made local, national, and international insurance clients its focus from inception.
