Road Maintenance

Road contractors bear the huge responsibility of maintaining provincial highways for the benefit of all Canadians. Through no fault of their own, their business operations can lead to a high frequency of claims. As a result, they have a heightened focus on assessing and protecting their interests—and a need for reliable, dedicated counsel that knows the industry standards. Our Road Maintenance group helps resolve disputes quickly and methodically.

We designed a very collaborative system to manage claims for this distinct type of client. By partnering closely with road contractors, studying their businesses and industry standards and applying our creative thinking and legal expertise, we are able to manage the risks and successfully extricate clients from potential costly and time-consuming litigation.
