Chief Executive Officer – Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association

Summit Search Group has been retained by the Canadian Lawyers Insurance Association (CLIA) on the recruitment of a Chief Executive Officer. Founded in 1988 as a direct response to an unstable professional liability insurance market, CLIA is a not-for-profit reciprocal insurance exchange established by and for Canada’s provincial and territorial law societies.

Due to retirement, CLIA is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the organization through its next chapter of strategic growth. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the CEO will serve as the primary relationship holder with CLIA’s subscriber law societies, the face of the organization in reinsurance markets, and the operational steward of a mandate that spans claims oversight, financial management, and loss prevention strategy. The role demands a leader who is comfortable navigating a regulated and governance-driven environment, skilled at building trust with sophisticated stakeholders, and ready to drive an ambitious and well-defined strategic agenda.
