About the Authors
Lyle Harris, QC has practiced almost exclusively in the area of personal injury, insurance, and general litigation since being called to the BC bar in 1976. Lyle has acted both for plaintiff-client and defendant-lawyer in actions involving allegations against lawyers and has been accepted as an expert in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Part of his current practice involves acting for insured parties to provide independent legal advice where there is a possibility or likelihood that the amount of the plaintiff's claim will exceed the insured client's available policy limits. In addition to the practice of law, from approximately 2003 to 2007 Lyle served as a mediator in civil litigation disputes involving personal injury, insurance, and leaky condominium cases. 

Jennifer Brun joined Harris & Brun in 2016, after having practised with a leading insurance defence firm in Vancouver since 2009. Her practice focuses on civil litigation and professional regulation, with an emphasis on claims arising from professional liability, occupier’s liability, recreational accidents, and motor vehicle accidents. She represents her clients in both litigation and regulatory contexts, before all levels of court in British Columbia, governing professional bodies, and administrative tribunals. Jennifer’s advice is routinely sought on insurance matters regarding litigation, coverage, subrogation, audits, policy wordings, and risk management.
