Consumer Protection Law
Legally defined as people who buy a good or service from a seller for personal purposes, most provinces and territories have powerful Consumer Protection laws designed to bring individuals complaints together as a class action.
Price Fixing and Competition Law
Price fixing and other anticompetitive business behaviours are illegal in Canada under the Competition Act, making them well-suited to enforcement through class actions.
Financial Services and Securities Law
Misrepresentations to shareholders by publicly traded companies and their executives are actionable as class actions under securities and other financial services legislation.
Product Liability Law
Class actions are an effective way for buyers of defective products to assert claims for damages under principles of negligence and statutes such as the Sale of Goods Act.
We work for you as investigators, litigators and negotiators.
Consumers, investors and other individuals are often subject to wrongs that hurt their interests but are difficult to expose and prove. When we’re called to action, our strength is figuring out the nature of your legal problem, investigating it thoroughly, and bringing together evidence and the law so that we can argue the case in court. We’re also successful negotiators, having resolved many class actions by settlement.
We have a wide network of relationships with other like-minded lawyers and firms across Canada, the United States and globally. The cases we take on often have a national or even international aspect, making these professional relationships a valuable advantage for clients.
We have the sophisticated, award-winning advisors who support class actions of all types, every step of the way.
