Sotos Class Actions is recognized as a leader in class action litigation in Canada. Their team comprises experienced trial lawyers with extensive experience in class actions across multiple practice areas. Their cases have been at the forefront of the development of the law in diverse areas, including employment (wage and hour litigation), antitrust (Competition Act), privacy, consumer protection, social justice, and franchising and distribution. Among their most notable class actions is their role in securing the largest settlement in Canadian history. After years of litigation, in October 2023, the Federal Court approved a settlement agreement of $23.34 billion in compensation for impacted First Nations individuals and some of their family members. In the employment arena, they wrapped up a landmark case against one of the largest banks in Canada, CIBC, for uncompensated overtime affecting over 31,000 employees. After 15 years of litigation (including success on liability affirmed on appeal) and months of negotiation, they reached a $153 million settlement in 2023. This is one of the largest employment class action settlements/judgments globally. This case exemplifies their team’s ability to achieve favourable outcomes in long and challenging legal battles.
