A seasoned litigator, Zul has appeared before all levels of court in Alberta and the Federal Court of Canada on a wide array of civil litigation matters including general liability claims, commercial disputes, complex personal injury claims, fatality claims, fire losses, construction losses, interpretation of wrap-up liability policies and S.E.F. 44 insurance coverage claims. During his career, he has successfully conducted jury and non-jury trials and has been recognized for his advocacy skills across Canada and the United States.

He has been voted as a leading lawyer in Best Lawyers in Canada annually since 2014 for his expertise in Corporate and Commercial Litigation, Insurance Law and Alternate Dispute Resolution. Moreover, Lexpert has ranked Zul as a leading litigation counsel for over 15 years. In 2012, Zul was appointed King’s Counsel by the Government of Alberta in recognition of his outstanding achievement, expertise and contributions to the legal profession in Alberta.
