Civil Litigation & Dispute ResolutionInsurance LawCivil Litigation & Dispute ResolutionAbout Jennifer Beresford
When an accident or incident leads to a third-party claim, Jennifer Beresford defends the insurers and their clients caught up in it. Beresford is an associate lawyer in McCague Borlack's Ottawa office and also takes on first-party files, defending insurers against property damage claims and claims under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
Clients hear about new developments promptly, so they're able to help shape the strategy for their matter. Beresford stays focused on what each client needs and adjusts the approach to suit. Making a persuasive case for a client appeals to Beresford, though courtroom work always carries risk, and that's never far from mind.
Since being called to the bar in 2005, Beresford has appeared before many private arbitrators, at the LAT and FSCO, and in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Ontario Court of Appeal. Coverage work rounds out the practice, with questions running across auto, CGL and construction-related policies.
Away from work, Beresford enjoys hiking, yoga, cooking and a good board game, and is (slowly) easing back into running.
