Ilan Bergel is a partner at Bergel Magence LLP, a personal injury lawyer in Toronto representing injured people and their families in accident claims, accident benefits disputes and disability matters across the city, the GTA and the rest of Ontario.
Year Called to the Bar: 2005
Ilan’s connection to this practice began before he was called to the bar. He worked at Bergel Magence LLP as an interpreter, a law student and an intake coordinator – meaning he sat with injured clients at the very start of their claims, years before he ever argued a case. That foundation, built across almost two decades of legal practice at the firm, shows in how he approaches a file.
Practice Approach
The detail that most lawyers overlook is usually the detail that decides the outcome. Ilan reads every clinical note and tracks every benefit that has been paid, reduced or quietly stopped. He keeps building the record until the full picture of a client’s losses – past, present and future – is complete and defensible in court or at arbitration.
Injured clients are often dealing with a system that was not built to be easy. Ilan listens before advising and explains as many times as needed. He does not move clients toward decisions before they are ready.
Accessibility and Client Visits
Ilan meets clients at home, in hospital or at a rehabilitation facility. For a family dealing with a catastrophic injury or spinal cord injury, that flexibility removes a real burden. Bergel Magence LLP operates on a family-centred care model, and Ilan has embodied that from the beginning: he grew up working alongside family, and he extends the same consideration to his clients’ families.
