BFL CANADA Launches Proprietary Legal Expense Insurance and Assistance Solution
With legal fees rising and disputes putting growing pressure on Canadian organizations, BFL CANADA’s new offering provides proactive legal protection for organizations and individuals, helping them address issues early, mitigate risk, and reduce the likelihood of costly claims, disputes, and litigation.
Montreal, September 29, 2026 — BFL CANADA, one of the largest employee-owned and operated Risk Management, Insurance Brokerage, and Employee Benefits consulting services firms in Canada, is proud to announce the launch of its new proprietary Legal Expense Insurance and Assistance Solution. This innovative offering combines insurance protection, technology, and human expertise to help clients access legal support more easily, manage legal risk proactively, and navigate legal challenges.
Developed in collaboration with LawVo, Canada’s first truly AI-enabled legal support platform backed by licensed legal professionals, the solution reflects a proactive approach to legal risk management. It brings together Legal Expense Insurance (LEI) coverage, a 24/7 legal assistance centre and practical legal tools, including AI-powered legal information and document resources, in a single integrated offering.
By providing immediate access to legal guidance, practical tools, and licensed legal professionals when advice is needed, the Legal Expense Insurance and Assistance solution helps clients address legal issues before they escalate while providing insurance protection for covered legal claims.
Through LawVo, BFL CANADA clients benefit from a connected, all-in-one experience that includes:
- Built-in AI legal assistant delivering clear, real-time answers to every day legal questions.
- Legal document centre with compliant templates tailored to operational and regulatory needs.
- Curated marketplace of experienced legal professionals for specialized or jurisdiction-specific legal matters.
- 24/7 multi-access legal assistance centre, including a legal helpline and an online intake form.
When issues cannot be resolved proactively and require legal action, BFL CANADA’s LEI coverage provides financial protection and professional support throughout the claims process. Spanning a broad range of common legal matters, the LEI coverage helps organizations and individuals save time, reduce costs and remain focused on managing and protecting their core operations.
“This solution reflects how our clients actually experience legal risk today,” said Lisa Giannone, President and COO of BFL CANADA. “They need more than coverage when something goes wrong. They need timely access to trusted legal guidance that helps them make informed decisions before issues escalate. By combining Legal Expense Insurance with advanced legal technology and professional human expertise, we’re delivering a practical and modern solution that puts our clients’ needs first.”
“The future of legal support is proactive, accessible and technology-enabled,” said Fernand Vartanian, Co-founder and CEO of LawVo. “Our collaboration with BFL CANADA brings legal guidance, AI-powered tools and licensed lawyers together in one experience, giving clients the ability to address legal issues earlier rather than waiting until they become costly disputes.”
The Legal Expense Insurance and Assistance Solution is now available to eligible clients. For additional information, clients are encouraged to contact a BFL CANADA representative.
