Guy Valle

Associate at Parlee McLaws LLP

Guy started his professional career working for major insurance companies, brokers, and government agencies, both as an in-house adjuster and independent adjuster, investigating, adjusting, and settling a variety of claims including catastrophic injury, CGL, Occupiers’ liability, condominium, large property losses, and negotiating structured settlements.

This experience helped him gain an in-depth understanding of what matters to clients, namely finding practical solutions to complex problems, which he achieves by thoroughly reviewing the file and crafting the negotiation strategy early on.

Guy takes proactive steps and having pursued training on Alternative Dispute Resolution, he focuses on interests rather than positions.

Guy completed his articles with Parlee in 2020 and joined the firm in 2021, as an Associate. He has gained trial experience in the Provincial Court of Alberta, and in the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta. Over the years, Guy has actively participated in mediations and Judicial Dispute Resolutions (JDRs).

Outside work, Guy enjoys playing jazz on the drums. He has performed at various festivals including at the Charlottetown, PEI Summer Festival; the Saskatoon International Jazz Festival; the Edmonton International Jazz Festival; the Calgary Expo Latino and has performed at The Yardbird Suite, Edmonton’s premier Jazz Venue. He currently plays in a 20-piece community Big Band.
