Class Actions

At Circle Barristers, we are experts in class actions. Class actions are a cost-effective way for a group of people who have faced similar harm to seek justice through a single case.

Class actions are an important access to justice tool. They compensate those directly harmed. But they also prevent others from experiencing harm in the future because they can change the law and modify the behaviour of those legally responsible.

We have worked on privacy, employment, constitutional, competition, and consumer protection class actions.

In particular, we are experts in class actions where the harm suffered includes violations of the Charter, human rights codes, and negligence by a government body.

Administrative and Constitutional Law

At Circle Barristers, we specialize in administrative and constitutional law, including under the Charter and federalism.

We frequently appear in the Federal Court, Ontario Superior Court, Divisional Court (Ontario), as well as the Ontario Court of Appeal, Federal Court of Appeal, British Columbia Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court of Canada. We also appear at public inquiries and arbitrations on public law matters.
