About McCague Borlack LLP

McCague Borlack LLP is a civil litigation firm that's been operating since 1994. Its head office is in Toronto, in the Exchange Tower on King Street West, and it runs regional offices in Ottawa, Kitchener, Barrie, and London. Over the years it has grown from 11 lawyers to more than 50, with over 100 people in total once clerks and support staff are counted. The bulk of its work is insurance litigation: insurance defence, coverage disputes, personal injury, and accident benefits. Its lawyers also act for corporations, banks, financial companies, and individuals in commercial disputes, and the firm lists dozens of practice areas spanning employment, construction, class actions, and more.

The firm was a founding member of the Canadian Litigation Counsel, a national network of litigation-focused firms, and it's affiliated with The Harmonie Group, which connects it to member firms across every U.S. state. It says it can serve clients in more than 10 languages. The Kitchener office opened in 2014 and gives McCague Borlack a base in Waterloo Region, though its roots and its head office are firmly in Toronto.

The neighbourhood

The Kitchener office sits in Commerce House at 50 Queen Street North, right in downtown Kitchener. From here McCague Borlack covers the Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge core and reaches out across the surrounding region toward Guelph, Hamilton, Brampton, and London. This is a regional office of a Toronto firm, not a home-grown local practice, so the Kitchener presence is about staying close to the region's clients rather than a long local history.
