Andrew Sowerby

Andrew is a partner at Cox & Palmer’s Halifax office, practicing mainly in the areas of insurance, commercial litigation, and regulated professions. After obtaining his law degree from Dalhousie University and articling with the firm, Andrew joined Cox & Palmer as an associate in 2009.

Insurance defence work makes up a significant portion of Andrew’s practice. He has broad experience representing insurers (and self-insured entities) in responding to claims arising from automobile accidents and property damage, as well as allegations of professional liability, product liability, occupiers’ liability, municipal liability, and coverage disputes.

Andrew has represented parties in real property disputes and commercial disputes. Recognizing that litigation is typically not a client’s first choice in resolving a dispute, Andrew prides himself on being responsive to his clients and taking a practical approach to litigation.
