L’avocat·e sera appelé·e à travailler dans des dossiers de couverture d’assurance dans le cadre de litiges importants, notamment dans les secteurs de la construction, de la responsabilité professionnelle et des risques financiers, au Québec, ailleurs au Canada et même aux États-Unis, pour le compte de nos clients assureurs, dont la majorité font partie du marché londonien. La personne retenue pourrait également être appelée à plaider devant les tribunaux dans certains dossiers de couverture d’assurance, si elle le souhaite. Il ou elle conseillera les assureurs en matière de couverture relativement à un large éventail de polices d’assurance, notamment en matière de responsabilité civile générale (CGL), d’assurance globale de chantier (« wrap-up »), de responsabilité professionnelle, de cyber risques, responsabilité du fait des produits et rappel de produits, de responsabilité et rappels de produits, de responsabilité des administrateurs et dirigeants (D&O), d’assurance contre le crime, ainsi que dans d’autres domaines.

La maîtrise courante de l’anglais est par conséquent requise compte tenu de la nature même des services professionnels livrés à cette clientèle internationale. Plus particulièrement, et sans que cette liste ne soit exhaustive, nos avocats.e. s devront être en mesure de fournir, en langue anglaise, des conseils et des avis juridiques complexes, de rédiger des procédures et des mémoires et de préparer et mener des interrogatoires.
