Speaker Bio
Aron Bookman’s insurance defence practice covers a diverse range of claims that often involve multiple parties facing potential liability. Insurers, municipalities, regulatory bodies and institutional clients all turn to him for claims involving insurance coverage, construction, fraud, municipal liability, personal injury, employment law and human rights.

Aron’s successful approach to defending claims begins the moment he receives a file. Dedicating time at the outset to thoroughly assess the details of the claim allows Aron to take control of the case and develop the strategy needed to effectively manage each stage of the file.
Combining the communication skills needed to work with multiple parties with his thorough preparation, Aron actively seeks out opportunities to resolve disputes quickly. He has built a reputation amongst insurers as a highly practical lawyer who will fight to have unjust claims against his client dismissed outright instead of negotiating any form of settlement.

Aron is a native Californian who began his career in corporate civil litigation with Fulbright & Jaworski, an international full service firm. There, he practiced in various areas of corporate civil litigation, appearing regularly before the Superior Court of the State of California and the United States District Court in Los Angeles. Since moving to Victoria, Aron has carried on with his interest in court hearings and trials having now appeared before the BC Human Rights Tribunal, BC Supreme Court, BC Court of Appeal, Alberta Superior Court, Alberta Court of Appeal and Yukon Superior Court on multiple occasions.
