Overview

Joe Chivers brings a wide spectrum of experience as a litigation lawyer to his clients.

A partner in Brownlee’s litigation group, Joe’s practice areas include insurance defence and defence of public entities, including municipalities and school boards.

“Solving problems is what I enjoy doing. With civil litigation, each file has its unique issues,” Joe says. “I find it challenging and rewarding to help my clients solve the problem they’re dealing with. It’s something I enjoy helping my clients through.”

Another strong distinguishing asset is Joe’s track record in dealing with mediations, both private and judicial. “I have a lot of experience working with a mediator or a judge to settle claims, and a track record of success in getting claims resolved favorably for my clients,” he says. In civil litigation, this is an important trait that clients should be looking for in a lawyer, he notes, “because most claims settle before going to trial - they either go to mediation or they’re negotiated between the lawyers privately.”
