Profile

Chet has dedicated his entire legal career to insurance defence litigation, with a focus on defending catastrophic bodily injury claims in the areas of sports and recreation liability, commercial liquor liability, occupiers’ liability and security liability.

As a results-oriented lawyer, Chet focuses on achieving the best negotiated outcome for his clients.

Moreover, he has successfully represented clients in a number of summary judgment motions.

Chet is frequently asked to present at conferences, particularly on topics related to trials and advocacy.

Chet spends his time with his spouse, Emma, exploring Toronto’s theatre scene, reading novels, watching far too much NBA, supporting West Ham and cheering on the Detroit Pistons, Tigers and Lions.
