About Strigberger Law
Strigberger Law is a Waterloo insurance firm that acts only for insurers. Its work runs across coverage: loss transfer and priority disputes between insurers, coverage opinions, arbitration, and litigation. Those files reach into auto, home, commercial, professional (errors and omissions, directors and officers), marine, and farm policies. The firm serves property and casualty insurers of all sizes across Ontario, and much of the work is handled remotely, with lawyers based in Waterloo and the Greater Toronto Area.
The firm launched in 2025 and carries the name of its founder, Daniel Strigberger, who has practised Ontario insurance coverage law for more than two decades and has appeared before the Ontario Court of Appeal on coverage questions. Daniel Strigberger wrote a LexisNexis textbook on coverage under Ontario's standard automobile policy, and also sits as a private arbitrator in loss transfer disputes. The team pairs that coverage focus with mediation and arbitration experience drawn from both the claims side and the defence bar.

Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The office sits on Northfield Drive West in the north end of Waterloo, away from the historic Uptown core and nearer the city's business and research corridor. There's a certain logic to the address. Waterloo has a long insurance industry: the head offices of Economical (now Definity), Equitable Life, Sun Life, and OTIP are based in the city, along with a Manulife office, and insurance employs roughly 8,500 people locally, with company histories that go back to the 1870s. A firm built entirely around insurance coverage law is close to the industry it works for. That said, the files come from across Ontario, a good deal of the work is handled remotely, and the firm's lawyers are based in both Waterloo and the Greater Toronto Area.
