Dispute Resolution: Class Action (Defence)

About

Provided by Fasken

We approach class action litigation to win, either in court, or through strategically negotiated settlements. It is critical to have an experienced legal team who can advocate for you and develop a strong tactical response. 

Our Fasken team is known in Canada and internationally for our class action expertise, strategic ability and excellent client service. We have been counsel on many of Canada’s most closely watched class action lawsuits in recent years and have acted for world class clients on precedent-setting matters. Our lawyers specialize in providing seamless representation in multiple jurisdictions across Canada, and work with our clients’ counsel in other countries to ensure effective coordination of parallel cross-border cases.  

Developing an appropriate strategy to mitigate risk and manage the defence of a class action matter is critical, and a deep understanding of our clients’ business and industry areas allows us to provide practical advice. We use creative approaches that go “outside the box” to reduce the impacts on our clients of lengthy litigation, often in multiple jurisdictions, through early substantive and procedural challenges.
