Torys is recognized as having one of the leading financial institution regulatory practices in Canada. We regularly advise life and property & casualty insurers and reinsurers on insurance regulatory matters involving local and federal regulators and are engaged from the ground up on new product development and distribution strategies.
We are frequently involved in applications for ministerial and superintendent approvals submitted through OSFI. Whether the application is in respect of a change in control, a substantial investment, a federal continuance and/or merger, unregistered related party reinsurance or another type of application, our lawyers have developed invaluable relationships with members of OSFI at all levels.
Torys is primary regulatory counsel to three of Canada's largest insurance companies; we also represent retail and institutional insurance advisers and firms in regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings before financial services and insurance regulators.
We have experience in the issues that are often part of today's insurance disputes, acting as primary corporate and/or litigation counsel to the largest insurers in Canada.
We apply our outstanding trial and appellate litigation experience towards complex and high-profile insurance disputes, appearing before all levels of courts, arbitration panels and regulatory bodies. We advise insurers and insureds on a wide range of insurance, reinsurance and business litigation and arbitration matters.
