About Rogers Partners LLP
Rogers Partners LLP is a civil litigation firm based in downtown Toronto, with its office in the TD Centre at 100 Wellington Street West. The firm traces back to 1994, when it opened as Rogers, Moore, founded by Donald Rogers, Patrick Moore, John Strung and Diane McDowell after they left a larger, multidisciplinary firm to offer more responsive and cost effective service. It became Rogers Partners LLP in 2005, when founding partner Patrick Moore was appointed to the bench.
The firm acts as defence counsel for insurers and self-insured companies, with longstanding relationships among institutional clients and insurance companies in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. Its practice centers on insurance related litigation: automobile claims, general liability, insurance coverage disputes, professional liability and employment law. Rogers Partners describes its approach as combining the personal touch of a smaller firm with the resources of a larger one, and Best Law Firms has recognized it as a Regional Tier 1 firm in the Toronto market.

The neighbourhood
Rogers Partners' office is in the TD West Tower at 100 Wellington Street West, part of the Toronto Dominion Centre complex designed under Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's modernist plan for the city's financial district at King and Bay. That places the firm inside the same downtown core as many of the banks, insurers and institutional clients it represents as defence counsel, rather than in a suburban satellite office.
