Dentons is pleased to announce that Geoff Bowman has joined the Firm as a partner in our Construction, Infrastructure and PPP, and Litigation and Dispute Resolution groups.
Geoff’s practice focuses on resolving construction disputes, as well as disputes relating to tendering and procurement. He is regularly sought out by both project owners and contractors with regard to significant construction projects. Geoff is also well-known for helping his clients take practical and strategic steps throughout the life of a project to reduce legal risk and resolve disputes efficiently.
“The dedication and client-service focus Geoff brings to the table, along with his technical excellence, is admirable and a welcomed addition to Dentons,” said John Sandrelli, Managing Partner of Dentons’ Vancouver office. “His ability to build positive relationships, combined with his wealth of industry knowledge, positions him well to support clients and colleagues locally, nationally and globally.”
Geoff also has experience in insurance defence and technical cases, specifically professional negligence of architects and engineers, acting as a long-standing advisor to the largest professional liability insurer in Canada. In addition to his proficiency in construction and insurance, he assists clients on a broad range of general commercial disputes.
Karen Martin, Co-lead of the Vancouver Construction group, said “We look forward to welcoming Geoff to our Construction group as, apart from his litigation experience, he brings tremendous experience providing strategic advice to help clients address challenging issues that arise during a construction project in a manner that will achieve a successful outcome for the project.”
