With you the whole way
With BLG, all your answers and support are in one place. We provide the tools and advice to reduce risk before claims arise. Crisis management advice when allegations hit the media. Someone who will expertly and tactfully work toward your best outcome when the claim is filed. And post-litigation support to manage your risk going forward.
We spend time on the ground getting to know your institutional culture, your people, your processes, your safeguards and your reality. It’s the best way to determine the right strategy, build a defence and prepare you for discovery.
We get to know you
Being interviewed or giving evidence in an abuse case
or investigation is extremely difficult. We build trusting relationships with your representatives, ensuring
they feel well prepared and emotionally supported.
They’ll have the information
to answer questions honestly and with confidence and the resources to deal with intense feelings before, during and after proceedings.
We care for your people
We have earned respect across Canada for our handling of these complex and high value claims — whether historical or contemporary, insured or uninsured, mediated or tried
in court. We’ve represented insurers and institutions in healthcare, education,
sports, government and faith communities. And when it comes to class actions,
our award-winning team is ranked with the best.
Trusted team
We listen to what you say are your priorities — and make them ours, too. If litigation is warranted, we’re efficient and careful to manage exposure. We’ll offer advice and guidance based on our assessment of liability and damages and let you decide the best next steps. We select mediators with care.
We follow your lead
We will represent your interests while demonstrating compassion for victims, their families and witnesses. We are relationship builders: committed to transparency in communication, sensitivity in our approach, and nurturing trust with all parties. These are some of our team’s greatest strengths.
Trauma-informed approach
The best defence for the most sensitive situations.
