Surety bonds are a cinch when you’re well supported 

Complete support, from start to finish

Surety insurers do more than just issue bonds. Their teams can stay involved at every step to keep your project on track.

What does good support look like?

• A specialized team ready to guide you through the entire bonding process
• Advice tailored to your company’s reality, whether you’re an SME or a larger organization
• A proactive approach focused on preventing complications and managing risk efficiently

A multidisciplinary team  

At L’Unique, your bond file is handled by a multidisciplinary team that specializes in both construction and law. Here’s how each team member contributes:

The technical assistant maintains communication with project owners and monitors project progress to detect early signs of risk. 

The legal technician prepares subordination agreements, discharges and other key documents from the outset, helping to eliminate administrative bottlenecks that could slow down your project. 

The claims analyst and management team handle complex claims, such as those involving liens or unpaid suppliers, and work to resolve disputes efficiently. 

A true partner in the event of claims or disputes 

When a supplier files a claim, your surety insurer steps in quickly to contact all parties. This early intervention often helps re-establish communication, clarify the situation and prevent escalation.

Depending on your needs, the team can:

• Attend meetings to observe or intervene when necessary
• Visit the job site to assess the situation firsthand
• Implement mediation strategies to avoid project delays 
• Support you in managing the dispute, with a presence adapted to the context

Strategic support...before problems arise

While the team doesn’t offer legal advice, they can still support you in key areas related to surety bonds. 

This includes reviewing tender documents, before or after bid submission, to ensure you fully understand the obligations tied to the bond.

They can also assist with questions about the surety’s involvement in situations such as:

• A potential dispute with a project owner, subcontractor, or other stakeholder 
• Managing subcontractors under more complex contract conditions 
• Risks or nuances tied to specialized bonds like the RBQ licence bond or OPC/supplier bond
